Great job....have the same table.... my main section is lighter than the leaves which look almost like new. Should I follow the same procedure? Any specific paint stripper to use?
teak changes colour over time so it will be very hard to match them to the leaf... you either have to use a tinted colour to match the darker colour or try lightening the darker wood with oxalic acid... that will be a trial and error to see how light to go. This will be hard if you're a beginner... if you use the leaf mostly for large gatherings covered with a table cloth I wouldn't bother... also if you haven't used the leaf you do not need to refinish it.
What kind of varathane finish did you use? I noticed that you used spray on for a small side table. Did you use that also for this dining room table. Oil or water based? Thank you
We have this exact table and will do as you did. Can’t wait! We however, have old grease stains on the top that I need to deal with first. Any tips? Sanding the glass stains on our teak side tables worked like a charm. Would sanding work for grease too?
well if you're stripping it first, try that i would say! sanding might just press it more in there. try a chemical stripper first. also if you're refinishing it anyway, you could just try degreaser or orange oil
Do you guys know what is the make of this table? I just bought one that looks exactly like this in SF. My friend suggested that he thinks it is a Skovby but there are no markings on my table and the previous owners did not know. My friend found a skovby for sale on Chairish and sent it to me and it looks very similar but mine has the middle piece of wood on the underside that you see (in the table’s profile) in this video that sits between the two leaves when they’re stored and I don’t see that on the skovby my friend sent me. (Also, beautiful restoration and video. Thanks for sharing).
Great job. I have bought a beautiful teak second hand dining suite. I was thinking of sending it to a restorer to have it done, but I’m in two minds as to whether I should do it myself.
A damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Don't put anything hot directly on the wood. Other than that there are a lot of tips online and it depends what you use to seal the table.
This is gorgeous! Beautiful work. I am about to redo a table very similar to this. Can I ask - what varathane product did you use to seal, after the applications of the Danish oil?
Thank you! I followed the same exact steps as this video to seal. th-cam.com/video/3vIrtr_CkZw/w-d-xo.html This product might be a bit different on a kitchen table, though. You may want to use something more heavy duty and waterproof. Always protect your teak table after though and never set hot plates directly on it, and clean up water immediately or it will get in the finish.
Some people don't do the additional step of sealing... it is in fact, additional. The Danish oil I use has sealer in it so technically, it is fine as is. However, I am extra, AND you have to reapply Danish oil every now and then... but I like to prevent this by using a sealant :) hope that helps. Soon I will finish another kitchen table video!
Wow. So nice! I love these restorations. Thanks for sharing.
Have this exact table in my office right now. There's 4 matching chairs in the garage. Always meant to redo the leather on the chairs. Maybe one day.
Absolutely beautiful,,,,love this table

@@wmitchellsmith This one had no marks either so I am not sure!
How long did you let the first coat of danish oil sit?
Great job. I have bought a beautiful teak second hand dining suite. I was thinking of sending it to a restorer to have it done, but I’m in two minds as to whether I should do it myself.
How do you take care of the dining table when being used? If you get food on it, what to use to clean and maintain?
A damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Don't put anything hot directly on the wood. Other than that there are a lot of tips online and it depends what you use to seal the table.

Could you use teak oil instead of danish oil
Yes, you can, just follow the directions of whatever brand you buy!
@@nonnosrestoration73 thank you for responding!
