Solid wood bar stools were sanded bare and refinished in a white washed stain oil finish. Let me show you how.
These 4 bar stools were almost sanded completely when I got them.
I appreciated the work put in and knew I could continue the process.
I hauled in 2 at a time from storage and got busy.
All the surfaces were power sanded with my new Festool Rotex 90 sander. Using a sponge pad allowed the sander to contour the rounded edges much better then flat.
Using a rubber hammer after unscrewing the legs from the seat, I removed the legs to sand easier.
Like most used pieces, repairs were in order. I tried my new Titebond glue to reglue the bases to the seats.
They were clamped and left to dry well.
The chair backs were much more labor intense to sand. I hand sanded with fine sandpaper folded over a paint stick in the hard to get to spots. Then this super handy
sander card arrived in the mail. This is a game changer for tight areas.
It comes with a few different grit papers that velcro on. The firm plastic holder is a great size too.
Once all the old finish was sanded off the chairs were wiped well.
White Fusion
Stain & Finishing Oil was applied with a blue shop towel. Above it is going on the back rungs. So easy, wipe on, after 15 minutes wipe off the excess.
Here is one chair on the left with one coat on. The above process was repeated to all 4 chairs. 2 coats of finishing oil were applied with a light sand after each coat to give a super smooth soft finish.
