I thought of rubbing it back with a very fine sand paper, but my husband doesn't think that is a good idea. Would a fine steel wool be OK? (with or without soap/wet or dry?) Could I then use an oil to resurface it? What type would be best? I don't want to treat it so harshly that I need to varnish or use a full re-coat.
I'm not sure what the original surface would have been, but there is not much left. The table has a very heavy grain which has become very darkened. Thanks to anyone who can help.

When Mum was restoring an old kitchen cabinet she used steel wool and metho - this might work on your table

I have cleaned some of my furniture with a microfiber cloth...just soak it in water and wring out all the excess. Takes a bit of scrubbing, but I think you'll be suprised how much dirt comes off.

Fine steel wool works well but use gloves because it dries your skin terribly. Personally I would sand it down with an electric sander or the orange smelling stripper, Ive had good luck with that. Then add about three coats of poly on a day with low humidity. Let it sit for about two days before using. This is more intimidating than difficult, but if this is too much use the steel wool and oil it or maybe even use Old English. Good luck.
Refinishing an Oak Table. I need advice about my oak table top. I believe whatever it was finished with is wearing off and this is not an old table.
What is the best and easiest way to refinish a fairly new oak table?
