[QUOTE="Michael Hoyle, post: 2880645, member: 17054"]Greetings. I recently purchased an Antique Railroad Master’s desk that was in pretty bad shape and have begun the process of repair / Refinish work on this desk with wonderful potential. While I have some experience in refinishing older wood furniture, I would like to ask assistance from y’all so I do not screw this up. should I take a good wood cleaner to it before I start to sand in prep for a new stain or varnish? Should I even consider staining it? Right now I have it separated into the two base cabinets, with the desktop On another table for refinishing. My plan for now is to Get the top Then work on the base cabinets. The roll top cabinet is probably in the worst shape and I’ll tackle that last. Once I have finished it’s going in my home office[/QUOTE]
