Hi! I recently acquired a teak (?) veneer extension dining table that was originally purchased in the 70's. Overall it's in pretty good condition with only very minor stains (see pictures). The table top has however faded over the years and also has been lacquered whilst the extension leaves are not lacquered and remain darker.
I was hoping to get the table top back to its original condition and hopefully to a more similar colour as the leaves. I'm very much an amateur at this so I was wondering what the best approach would be
- should I strip back the lacquer on the table top, and if so what is the best product to use for this (acetone? some other stripper?) then give it a very light sand before finishing it?
- is there another approach to getting the table top back to its darker, original colour?
- what would be the best finish for a dining table? Would several coats of danish oil or similar be hard-wearing enough? I was hoping to avoid a high gloss lacquer finish
- i was planning to give the extension leaves and legs a good clean and oil and to leave it at that. would that be ok or should I be applying the same treatment to all the pieces?
Not sure if I should even be embarking on this unless there's a good chance of getting the table top closer to its original appearance as the table is in pretty good condition already and is useable so would hate to ruin it. As I said, I'm very new to this so any detailed instructions would very much be appreciated. Thanks!!
