Hi guys,
I thought I would start this new thread as Im now a little unsure about what is going on with my table.
As some of you may know I thought have furred the finish on my table but i am a little confused as to whats actually going on.
I will post some close up pictures later but dont have a camera right now.
I dry sanded this table back to about 800 - 1200 ( cant remember) grit with an orbital sander.
I then applied by brush a liberal coating of feast watson furniture oil.
Everything looked fine except in some areas, (most notably the tighter knotty patches) the timber went very dark and felt a little furry.
I have since sanded it back with the same sandpaper (800 - 1200) and the stain began to remove from the normal areas but the darker patches remained.
I then dropped grits back further and further but the dark patches still remain and I am at the point where I think I need to strip it all to bare timber to get beneath the dark patches to start again.
So, even though the dark patches are not furry any longer, they are still very dark and matty feeling compared to the rest of the table.
Am i on the right track? By sanding further? Or is the dark patch simply now the colour from the oil?
The original finish had no dark patches.453324
I will try and post some closeups pictures later
