FYI- last summer I sanded the table, stained with minwax then finished with 2 coats of marine spar finish. It came out fabulous. Well I admit the table has been left out all winter (in Iowa no less!) so it has peeled some and looks terrible. I will be refinishing this spring with something else. The fact is I will probably just need to put the table in a shed in the winter also. So just want others to know what did NOT work. I may have done something incorrectly also so keep that in mind.

LOVE Tung Oil! been rubbing that stuff all over my furniture lately. I didn't realize how dry the wood was getting until I put a couple coats of the oil on- what a difference. I think the type I have has some polyurethane in it because it seems to seal the furniture just a tad after 2 coats. Do you think it would work on a heavily used dining room table? I need to refinish the surface of mine. Just wonder how water-resistant tung oil is.

What exactly is the name of the product you are using and who makes it ?.
