Hello,

I just stripped my oak coffee table, moved the original top to the base (original base was laminated plywood) and I built a new top.  I am now looking to finish the project.  Wanting to keep the appearance light in color, I was thinking of either using a sanding sealer and applying 3 - 4 coats of poly OR finishing with Tung oil.  Any suggestions?  I have reserved the book by Bob Flexner at the local librabry.

Thanks,

RT

Hi RT,

I believe it's a matter of choice, if you strickey stripped off all the residue. If you feel you didn't remove all the residue, you better stick to the Tung oil.

     Best,
