Hi all, I'm a new guy here. Not a wood worker by any means. I know the difference between oak and maple, not much more...lol.
Here is my issue: I bought this solid wood table a few years ago, paid $100.00 U.S. cash. I bought it because I thought it had some beauty to the wood, it was heavy and solid and I could use it to play card games on it with my wife.
Today I decided to refinish it so I got to sanding. Almost done now. I used 60, 80, 100 and 150 grit so far.
Now I think maybe it is Teak? but I don't know. What do you think? It's old, probably 1950-60 era. Got it from a 90 year old couple.
The top is over 1-1/2" thick and 30" W x 35" L x 29 " H.
and as I said, it's a heavy thing.
If it is teak how would you finish it? Danish Oil sounds like what I'm wanting but I want some opinions. I've heard I could use boiled linseed oil too.
Or regular tung oil. I'm a bit confused. I don't want a real shiny surface like from a polyurethane.
I have a very beautiful Teak Danish Dining room which is from the 50-60's era. It is in mint condition.
It was manufactured by Schionning & Elgaard, made in Denmark.
The entire set is 100% Teak Wood - Classic Mid-Century Modern furniture which dates to around the 1950s - 1960s.
That is the type of finish I'm after, I think.
By the way, does this table have any value? There is no name or mfg. marking I could find underneath it.
A little help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks so much.
