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
