We have a rather nice mahogany dining room table that is beginning to need
refinishing after 30 years of reasonably careful use.


I'm thinkng of doing this job myself. I have a hand sander.


A few questions:


1. Do I need to remove the old high-gloss varnish before saning?


2. Is sanding likely to significantly change the color of the wood?


3. If it does, can I get a stain that will restore it?


4. After staining, should I apply several coats of high gloss polyurethane?


5. How do I prevent, bubbles, which I've gotten in the past when I used
polyurethant?


Any guidance appreciated.


Is it a nice table, is it veneer. Is sander random orbit. Without
seeing it cant say but a sander may ruin it.


dont pay attention to this rambling idot called ransley. He cant read
and cant comprehend.
