KevDodd Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have a dining table made from solid woo (sorry don't know which type) that has faded at the end nearest the windows, any ideas on how to bring it back up? Would I need to strip it down and re stain it? Cheers Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Turn the table around and wait for the other side to fade too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 If you are going to use briwax use it outside in the fresh air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Turn the table around and wait for the other side to fade too. +1 :lol: Takes a LOT of time to sand these down getting into all the nooks n crannies. I know as I had to help restore my grans table as a kid. I had blistered fingers from the sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I should turn it so it fades equally or put a table cloth on it. I have done quite a bit of this sort of thing as a minor hobby and can say if your not sure don't or call someone in (its cheaper than you might think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
