Dining table refresh

[Karl92]

Had a dining table with a fair few oil stains on it. Was still in great condition even after 8 years. Unfortunately the colour didn't match the floor in a new home, so decided to give it a refresh. 

It was my first time doing  project like this, so tried to keep it simple. 

Sanded it back with 180 grit paper and then again with 220 grit paper. After that used Cabot's stain and varnish in honey. 2 coats and the colour was achieved. Then gave it one coat of Cabot's clear polyurethane. Also did the chair legs too, 16 sides per chair...what a pain.

Pretty happy with my first attempt at a job like this. Now keen to do a few more pieces. 

That was the original colour of the dining table

Nice  job  @Karl92 

Fits in with your floor and chair.

If you still have those used sanding disks they are handy now for finer sanding or a quick pick up for some hand sand as some time on a  new project you find you/I missed an  edge here or there.

Love to see your next  project. Too

Thanks for the kind words @Jewelleryrescue 

Welllll I kind of threw them out 🤪. But good to know for the next time.

Love it @Karl92! What a wonderful transformation, and the colour choice is just perfect.

Many thanks for sharing your project and results with us.

Very impressive . . .  I see you invested heavily in replacement sanding discs 🙄

Bit overboard I suppose 🤣🤣
