Cherry Table with Cloudy Ring
My son has a cherry table with a white cloudy ring on it. Apparently
his wife put a wet bowl of hot liquid on it. The only thing I know about the table is they got it from an "Amish" furniture store and the instructions with it said to never use anything other than lemon oil on it - which didn't help this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the ring? (Other than with a saber saw!) Thanks. |

Where I grew up the Amish considered naturally finished wood to be 'proud'. Painting it made it plain. If an Amish family moved into a house with naturally finished wood trim or paneling they painted it. Quite possible the Amish you know have different rules. -- FF |

Try a wee dab of varsol on the cloudy part. Work it around in little
circles on a clean rag. Chances are it's only in the wax buildup and the varsol will remove the wax. Inside the house, use the low odor stuff (also called low odor solvent). Rewaxing /polishing may be required. Pete On 28 Feb 2006 08:20:01 -0800, "Guppas" wrote: My son has a cherry table with a white cloudy ring on it.
