I am refinishing an old coffee table that I got where the top was all beat up as well as the apron and legs. Thought it might be something that could be salvaged. Here’s the problem. I don’t know what kind of wood was used in making it to start with. I’ve pretty much resigned myself to actually making a new top. I sanded down to bare wood the apron and legs. I put a coat of tung oil on it. I want it a little darker to match the other household furniture. The tung oil darkened it a little but not enough. Anybody have any ideas? Can I stain over the tung oil? What can I do. Her are a couple of pics as it is right now. -- When asked what I did to make life worthwhile in my lifetime....I can respond with a great deal of pride and satisfaction, "I served a career in the United States Navy." |
