table refinished (0/1)
Finally done repairing and refinishing a table passed down to my wife
from her grandmother. Took almost a year. Supposedly it is over 100 years old and was in bad shape. All oak. Top pieces tongue and grove held together with probably animinal hide glue. It was coming apart and the old dried glue was hard as rocks......and nothing I could find would remove or soften it. Had to carefully sand it off. Top skirt cracked in several places, and a lot of work needed on the legs. Stripped, sanded, repaired, and stained with a custom mixed color my wife wanted. Two coats of oil based poly, four coats on the top. Got a lot of help from the net, this group, books, other woodworking friends. Thank you all. Came out better than I expected, and most important my wife is happy. |
