From what I have learned, I want to use oil based agents. what I want to do is strip the table, make it glass smooth, stain it very slightly darker, and then give it a deep glossy finish but without all the fussing of a real french polish. it is a solid oak round table, and has some end grain around parts of the edges. I do have patience, but then also do not want to take all year to accomplish this. please help.
i would go as far as 150 sand paper and use a wood filler to even out the grain in the oak. apply the wood filler with a plastic squeegee and sand smooth when dry. gloss polyurethane would be your best bet for convenience and durability
There is actually a special wood stripper that is fume-free!! I would look into this, if I were you. The fumes of a regular paint stripper is HORRIBLE!!
I can't quite remember the name of the product, but I'm sure it is on the internet!!
polish it and stain it
