(Don't refinish, it will take away all the age and you can't get it back;) Yes, I definitely think the Dan-wax would work great.

I just purchased a mahogany antique round pedestal table. I don't think it has ever been refinished and appears to be slightly crazed (although I'm not sure that is what it technically is)--the finish is dark and dull. I am not ready to invest the time and money into refinishing it right now, as I have three small children. I am interested in putting a little elbow grease into cleaning it and was curious if you (or Dan) thinks his "Dan Wax" method would work. Are there other methods or products you think would work to give this kind of table a new luster? Thanks for your help!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904082024927873556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-39011490019460023262013-02-27T13:41:00.179-05:002013-02-27T13:41:00.179-05:00Donna, if you go to my sidebar and towards the bot...Donna, if you go to my sidebar and towards the bottom you'll see "labels."

If I saw all those gorgeous things in an antique shop here I would hypoventilate - you know, brown paper bag and slow deep breaths!!! It will be great to see the finished products. (Notice how patient I am sounding!!) No wonder the chair is happy and finally breathing, if I had to wear that fabric for 20 odd years I'd be pretty happy too. Tearing my hair out today as I still can't find the paint colour I want for the lounge and dining rooms and if I go back to the shop I'm loathe to bringing anymore sample pots back home 'cause they are mounting up fast in the garage but I think that's what will have to happen 'cause I've got to get this right. Hope you are both having a good day. I'll call in again soon.<br /><br />Take Care<br /><br />Love Janine<br />XXOO<br />Tasmania, AustraliaJanine Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-83715450383605531312009-08-23T00:06:52.056-04:002009-08-23T00:06:52.056-04:00Oooooooooooh. I'd say you scored big time! T...Oooooooooooh. I'd say you scored big time! The tables are both gorgeous and the chair I can't wait to see finished! I bought a really pretty old and I believe antique round table for my kitchen back in the spring...it was perfect in every way except if sat too low and I just couldn't get comfortable around it. Last month I moved it to my den to try out as a game table of sorts...but it messed up my traffic flow. Several days ago I moved it to my living room and it is just perfect. Sometimes it takes me awhile to find the right spot...I don't give up easy if I love something. I also found a 5 legged french-style wingback chair yesterday. It has pink striped fabric...all I could picture was some heavy old belgian linen on it...oatmeal colored. Still thinking on the chair...where to put it would be the issue. Your new lamp is great too...I would have purchased that too!<br /><br />Do tell...what is the waxing thing that Dan does? :)SarahWhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01749423551941426425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-2946233838566733212009-08-22T20:17:04.685-04:002009-08-22T20:17:04.685-04:00I love all of your new treasures and yes, I am wai...I love all of your new treasures and yes, I am waiting and waiting to see at least one of the rooms in this wonderful "new-Old-house" ♥Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002142282990616065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-87718070581680223392009-08-22T18:13:02.941-04:002009-08-22T18:13:02.941-04:00I love all of those great finds... but mostly I am...I love all of those great finds... but mostly I am ooohing about that FAB porch and the view of the countryside... so welcoming!dianahttp://diana-serendipity.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-56244282608556190812009-08-22T15:14:02.347-04:002009-08-22T15:14:02.347-04:00Oh I love the chair!
