Table Restoration
Hi, just thought I would write a quick thank you to Ubeaut for running this forum and everybody for contributing. I've used this forum as a primary source of information when I thought I'd try restoring a table I found second hand. ( after being quoted over a grand for a professional to do it
). Being a first timer, I enjoyed the process and the result; see for yourself:

Great job - and really good to see 20th century furniture of that calibre being appreciated for its worth. I am jealous of your table, even before you put the work in!!

restoration
Hi,
I have a table made by Drexel Heritage(American company)that I purchased approx 30 years ago.The top is a walnut veneer with inlaid marquetry and what looks like a polyurethane glossy finish.Its never been cleaned or polished and drinks have been spilled on it resulting in a general loss of its original beautiful glossy finish and a rather dirty appearance in parts.Ive spoken to several french polishers and they all want to strip it down.Im reluctant because they cant guarantee me that it will come out with the same beautiful walnut colour.Also there is a piece of black stained beading around the edge that is in parts dented and the stain worn down.
What is a safe way to clean the surface,bring back the glass like finish and fill the dents in the beading strip?

Excellent job
