Repair cracked table
Hello all,
Three years ago, I purchaseda wooden table, stained mahogeny for $50. It was originally a $500 table, but the table top split along the length of the table. I figured I could place wood filler, sand and stain. Unfortunately, the gap widens in the winter and closes in the summer. Obviously, I am not a wood furniture expert, but I'd like to improve the table. I've heard many different opinions: *glue the pieces together using a clamp to pull the table top closer, *sand the whole table down, let it fully dry out, then stain and apply a butterfly strap *refill the crack, stain it and then place lacquer over it I can't seem to get a straight answer. I know the root problem is humidity, the wood was probably not cured. Where do I go from here? Thank you, Goose |
