[QUOTE="HMB, post: 666239, member: 7939"][GALLERY=media, 4638]Lane Furniture - Style No 701 by HMB posted Jun 14, 2019 at 2:09 AM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 4639]Lane Furniture - Style No 702 by HMB posted Jun 14, 2019 at 2:25 AM[/GALLERY] Finally got a new finish on the tables, they were put on the back burner after realizing how difficult it was to get to bare wood without busting through the veneer work. After a careful balance of sanding and stripping, I started by using a black alcohol based dye. Following the dye, I applied black gel stain to reach the pores where the dye was unable to reach. For the top coat I applied 4 layers of oil based poly. After curing I polished it by wet sanding to 12000 grit, followed by buffing in some rubbing compound using the same 12000 grit padded disc. After buffing out the compound, I used paste wax to really make it shine. Wish I could show the original craftsman how his tables looked now, hope I did them justice![/QUOTE]
