I French Polished the central top leaf and varnished the rest, except for the centre of the 2 pillars, you can see the original old varnish, it makes a nice contrast. This is an elegant oak gentleman's dining table/card table. The french polish gives a mirror like sheen, perfect for dealing cards on as it is fairly frictionless. I do not like playing on beize card tables personally, this is a much more pleasant experience.

This took at least 300 coats rubbed on to achieve the body. I lose count after the first 25 coats........www.floorsanding.org.....020 7700 7985.......
