Now that I think about it a bit more, I think I followed an online tutorial for refinishing a wood tabletop...
- Sanded the finish off the wood
- Cleaned and degreased
- Added a layer of Varathane Pre-Stain Wood conditioner, let dry
- Added a couple of coats of Varathane Penetrating Wood Stain in Ebony, wiped off excess and let dry between coats, with a bit of wet sanding
- Added a couple of coats of Varathane Oil Based Clear Satin Polyurethane, let dry and sanded til I got the finish I wanted
- Covered with Minwax Special Dark Paste Finishing Wax as per instructions
- Final sanding with 1200 grit to smooth everything out
It isn't perfect, and I should probably fix a couple of spots where I sanded through the stain, but overall it's good enough for my needs.
