It's been on my to do list for a couple of years... To refinish our dinning table top.
Sanding is a fun job! Takes a long time, not much changed. 🤣
Get the chemicals to work...
Scraping away the paint, reapplying the stripper, and repeat.
OK, good enough.
Applying one coat of pre-stain, which seals the wood and prepare for evenly applied stain.
Wrong color! Another trip to exchange stain.
After 3 coats, waiting 8 hours and lightly rubbed with steel wool in between, Antique Walnut turnned out to be the perfect match.
We spent $100 on materials and 4-5 hours over a week. It's a losing deal economically, but very satisfying to refresh our table and keep it with the family after 15 years of service. For every piece of wood furniture, it has a life and warm temperature.
