I set up the entire table top on top of another dining table I use as my workshop paint table.

The top has wear on the main areas after years of use. I tried to remove the finish using my carbide scraper from Richard tools but it was not working.

So I switched to paint stripper which worked.

Check out the video of how easy the stripper worked.

Using my carbide scraper from Richard tools I scraped off any remaining edge areas.

Then using my Dewalt orbital sander, I sanded the top down smooth using 120 grit sand paper. 

This took a few hours going nice and slow. The awesome wood grain revealed is beautiful.

Then it was time to sand the edges by hand. 

This took a very long time as well.

Until I got the brain wave to use my metal spatula with the folded sandpaper and it went tens times faster.!!

The top was stained using Fusion Mineral Paint's Stain & Finishing Oil in cappuccino. I love this product and color!!

SO easy to wipe on then wipe off the excess. Don't be alarmed to the color above,

This is what it looks like wiped back.

I applied 2 coats of cappuccino sfo letting dry well between coats.

Then I applied 2 coats of their natural Fusion Mineral Paint's Stain & Finishing Oil to add durability but not deepen the color further.

The table legs and apron were painted in Fusion Mineral Paint's Algonquin; a soft taupe color that pairs nicely with the rich chocolatey cappuccino. Two coats were brushed on using Fusion's 2" angled brush.

This is the finished table in its smallest size; a square.

Scroll thru all the seating option and see the video tour at the end.

Perfect size for a small dining area or used as an entry way table.

Below is one leaf added

All the way to 3 leaves. 

This gives the table lots of options for seating.

I take lots of photos hoping to capture everything a buyer needs to see to make a solid decision.

Here is a little video tour as well I like to share with them and you.
