Hi Jeanette! Ours isn’t that common of a name anymore. I am in Cincinnati area. I would definitely strip the table down to see what kind of oak you’re working with (red vs white oak). If it’s from wayfair i would make triple sure it’s not an oak veneer over pine. Once you know this, the finish can be determined. In this case ours was a white oak and could handle deeper “faux” wormholes and distressing. And the medium walnut danish oil made it look really Old World. I hope this helps!

Where at in Ohio are you? I am near Youngstown area…I have a 90’s round pedestal oak table with 4 oak chairs that i want to do something with…bought from Oak Express back in the 90’s. I really like the raw look but then when i see them up close I’m not so sure anymore…I do like the Old World Look…maybe with just a few worm holes….lol I bought a console table from wayfair that has some worm holes…it’s a dark gray weathered look…but I wanted to keep my table light but not real light…my space is not big so i don’t want anything dark…any suggestions?

Thanks for sharing! I also had a question about a piece I saw somewhere on your site that described a little chest of drawers as having a ‘scrubbed pine’ finish. Could you explain that – I loved that look too!

Your project turned out beautiful. Nice tips especially using water to open the pores of the wood. Stopping by from Merry Monday. Hope to see you back with us this week! Pinned to my Furniture board so I can refer back to these tips.

As someone who restores snooker tables, I’m always looking for additional advice such as this to help me with my work.

Keep up the great work Jeanette!

Using danish oil for doing this project is a great tip. Very informative. Thank you for sharing this post, Jeanette!

Holly, thanks and I actually would have kept that color (considering mine isn’t too far off from the original) and would have used liming wax for a true “English Farmhouse” scrubbed pine look.But the scratches were just too much. So stripping and sanding was the only answer I could come up with. I may still add liming wax :)

I’m going to embarrass myself and admit that my dining room table is an early 90’s orange oak 6 seater. It’s almost identical to the one you just did. The table itself is amazing and the perfect size for our family but the color is yuck. I’d love to redo it but, remember our message about the two cane back chairs I bought off Craigslist?!?! Ya well I still have those to tackle. Ugh. Wished I lived close to Ohio. Would love to come see your booth. :)

Thanks Evie! I had to study this type of finish because I’m so used to staining. But now I think danish oil is my new favorite finish 😊
