<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 10401144, member: 20148&quot;]Hello folks,</p><p><br /></p><p>Furniture is certainly not my thing, though I do love working with wood, so I need a bit of help and advice please.......</p><p><br /></p><p>An octagonal coffee table has come into my possession, well it will be in my possession tomorrow, that has suffered neglect and abuse, so needs some desperate TLC. I haven&#039;t actually seen the table for a few years now, so I am not even sure what wood it is yet, but probably oak?</p><p>Opinions please, should I carefully strip it, though I am only at the moment thinking of stripping the stained top, and then what.....french polish or simply perhaps stain and wax it?</p><p>I have seen a lot of similarly carved furniture from the lowlands, Belgium and Holland etc. It will be gorgeous when it is done, of that I have no doubt. I am assuming it is probably late 1800&#039;s.</p><p>Any ideas and advice would be gratefully received. I can take and post more pictures when it is in my possession.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, </p><p><br /></p><p>Russ</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]523492[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]523493[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
