This vintage wood table had
This vintage wood table had a damaged finish on the top and on the shelf. There was no way to save the finish, so I used furniture stripper to remove the old finish. I share some refinishing techniques and collaborate with Trena on the @johnsfurniturerepair YouTube channel to test out a new furniture stripper.
Once the finish was removed from the table, the top still looked really bad. I sanded it down past the stain to the bare wood before building up the color with dye stains. I chose to use a French Polish finish on this table. I've been doing a lot of research on French Polish and this was my first time using it on a project. I share my experience as I built up the finish through multiple layers of shellac to get a beautiful finish.
