Happy new year all! Working in the shop today, I was refastening the tenon to the foot of Windstar's saloon table to its 'leg', and while inverted on the bench (the saloon table, not me) I noticed the flaking varnish and the PO's sloppy brushwork. And lo, another project was added to the list. That varnish was easily scraped off with a hooked cabinet scraper, and it got me to wondering....
Does anybody know what was originally used to finish the woods in the interior? Table The top of my table clearly has an aging coat of satin varnish. The base had a thin coat of flaking varnish, at least down low. Was it teak oil originally? Urethane? will probably refinish the entire table. When refinishing, what has provided the best results? Cabin sole My keel repairs necessitated removing the entire cabin sole, which, fortunately, has been well protected by several sloppy coats of varnish. Looks good from far, and in any case is not stained or water damaged, which is a plus. Probably a solvent wipe, lump scrape, light sand and revarnish Any idea on the original finish here? Again, best results? Thanks! Dave
