<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 10498710, member: 3235"]Refinishing is a skill - it can be done without dismantling, but difficult and time consuming. There are products that partially dissolve a finish to improve rough and discolored areas. But it's very tricky to have the piece look right unless you've done a few projects (been down that road 30 years ago). As Komokwa mentioned - shouldn't be hard to find nice originals of such chairs - plus, a good old finish on oak is so nice, many refinished oak pieces look to new IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
