I stripped and sanded my oak kitchen table top. My husband said it looked
like I had over sanded the side. He thought perhaps the problem area
might not show if I stained over it. It turned out poorly. I have not
used the polyurethane yet. Should I go back and resand all of the sides?
Can I do that? Is it necessary to redo the top? Just don't know what to
do. Appreciate your advice.












When you pull the table apart to put the leaf in, what do the ends/edges
of the wood look like where the butt up against each other.

It appears that you have sanded through the outer veneer on the skirt/apron.

Probably the easiest fix is to hide it, paint it a complimentary color,
black even.

Is the table top even wood or is it Formica? It appears to have no wear
compared to the wood sides.
