I want to put a beautiful finish on an oak living room table. Thought I'd
try a rubbed finish, but being my first time I need your advice here.

Advice about what? Do it or not? How to do it?

Sorry. Yes, I need advice on how to do it.

Jeff Jewitt has some great books on how to do it. If you're in a hurry,
y ou could always DAGS (Do A Google Search) on hand rubbed finishes for
this group. You'll get plenty of info there, right down to the fine
points.
Good luck.

www.homesteadfinishing.com search for "selecting a finish" or words
close to those. Rubbing varnish isn't often done because of witness
lines when the top layer is broken through. Lacquer or shellac melt
prior coats and don't have this problem and rub out well.
