[QUOTE="HMB, post: 405636, member: 7939"]Thanks for the tip. If they were that high quality this wouldn't be a DIY project, but they are vintage American made pieces and that's enough for me to put the time in. A Lane restoration 'expert' on Instagram recommended using 80/120/220 sanding then using a dark walnut stain with poly or lacquer to finish. He claimed that Lane tables are all he has in his home. [URL]https://www.instagram.com/affordable_midcentury_mke/[/URL] I don't really care for the current finish to begin with, it reminds me of furniture my parents had in the 90s. I just want a solid wood finish, is it impossible to achieve? From deterioration or design method? Would knocking around to listen for hollow spots reveal this before removing the veneer?[/QUOTE]
