View Full Version : refinishing oak table

06-21-00, 10:24 PM
We recently received an oak table kitchen table with inset tiles that I am told is "limed oak" or whitewashed. I would like to strip the wood and reapply a similar finish as it looks good with the tiles but needs to be "freshened up." Where can I learn about paint, as opposed to clear, finishes? We are very new at this!
Thanks, Brandi

Brandi:

Bob F, who moderates the painting forum immediately below this one on the main forum menu, will be glad to offer any help he can.

I always suggest a copy of Bob Flexner's book "Understanding Wood Fnishing". It covers The type of finish your talking about as well as many others, in plain, understandable English.
