Hi,
I have been doing some research on refinishing a mahogany side table. I have sanded it down (up to 120 grit) and am wanting to finish it with Tung Oil. I love the beautiful color and grain of the natural wood.
Only, I have finished Mahogany before with stain and had gotten a blotchy effect - that with using a Wood conditioner first. Not sure what I did wrong but want to avoid this problem again. Shall I use a Wood conditioner before using the Tung oil? I have Varathane Pre-stain wood conditioner.
Lastly, should I go up in sandpaper grain (to 220 or so?) (oh, and poly on top?) That's it!
I'm new at this and have been figuring out things myself as I go along but have made mistakes in almost all of my projects. Not dealbrreakers, but I want do do this one right.
Any help you can provide would be awesome.
Thanks - Rebecca
