Hello,
We have a solid teak dining table...about 40 years old. Beautiful solid wood about 1-3/4 inch thick. Not sure what the finish is, but certainly can see the grain quite clearly. Also have two "leafs" that are teak veneer- don't know how thick the veneer is. I can sand easily enough, but not sure what finish to use... ? Teak Oil ...and if so, how many coats and how long in between...and do I sand or steel wool in between coats? Also not sure if I can sand the veneer...not knowing how thick it is. The goal would be to show off the wood while also adding some degree of protection.
Any advice on how to approach this would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Israel
