Thanks all. I used the Colonial Maple and Tung oil. HOWEVER, setting up the extension table caused some scratching of the black paint. I retouched it but think I need to protect it with a few poly coats. Getting that extension on is going to create wear, so I'm going to have to do my best to try to make it show less.

I got 2 Featherweights last week. I haven't used it/them in this card table set up yet, but am looking forward to giving them a whirl. I spent all day Sat. piecing with one. I still prefer my 301's, but it's a cute machine.

Lovely inspiration for when/if I ever get around to doing my FW table, extension, and 301 card table. Was going to do them by the end of Summer but Life sometimes gets in the way. What grit did you sand them with? You did a lovely job.

I have a table without the insert. I would love to be able to find the insert. Mine is a little rough looking but I think I will try to get someone to refinish it for me.

I did use chemical stripper then sanded with a medium and then a second pass with a fine grit There are still a few deep scratches and gouges, but I didn't want to fill them and then have the grain lines distorted and I still want the table to look its age, but nice for it's age. The veneers on these card tables and the other Singer tables are very thin, so I don't go heavy with the sanding.

You have a beautiful refinished FW table and extension. I have the card table and need to refinish it. You may have just been my inspiration. Thanks!!
