We've covered 'how to stain an Oak dining room table'... I would love
to refinish our dining room table but the leaf has cupped and I'm not
sure of the best way to fix it before I move to refinishing it. Should
I scrap the leaf and build a new one. It is not very big; about 4'-0"
x 1'-0" x 3/4" I could join and work some oak boards to match the
original piece but this leads to another stain question - which I'm
less comfortable with. How do I get the new leaf to match the original
wood table after I strip everything down?
