Need to refinish my table top
I would like to refinish (do "something" to improve the appearance of) my
octagonal breakfast table. The top is a composite of small pieces of wood, similar to a parquet floor, but smaller individual pieces. It was stained a dark walnut, but the stain has been partially worn off causing an unsightly appearance. It does not now have a varnish or other finish, except the stain. The table is heavy and looks somewhat rustic, rather than elegant. What is the best way to enhance the appearance of the table top? Should I use a belt sander to remove the top layer, re-stain it and then put several layers of clear polyurethane finish on it? Is there a better or easier way to go? Is polyurethane the toughest finish available? Thanks for any input. -- Walter www.rationality.net - -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
