Table Project

When we got married, Chase's best friend, Ben and his family gave us a gorgeous table and chairs that will last us forever. He's getting married here in a month or so so we thought we'd return the favor.

After much looking on KSL, Craigslist, and outlet furniture stores, we came home with a great solid oak table that had two leaves and six chairs!

The only bad part was that it had been well loved and had scratches all over the top shown below.

So we stripped off the old finish...

Sanded it down, went to the paint store twice to match the stain...

Put on the new stain and wiped it off...

Three coats of polyurethane and a layer of finishing wax....and wahlah! Looks like a brand new table!
