Does anyone know of a GOOD craftsman who can bring back the life to a teak and oak table that was a bit sun bleached?

I used to live in Daytona and Ormond Beach. I have a good friend who is a great furniture restorer but he lives in Ormond Beach. If you can't find anyone more local and want his Info let me know.

Wow. That is quite a distance away. Not sure he would want to travel this far. Coming down here and going back is like all day just traveling.

Sadly, I am still not coming up with anything I am happy about locally.

Maybe I can touch base with him and get some advice. <-- If that is ok with you. ??

Thank you......

I will contact him and see if he is interested. I am a woodworker myself and can tell you that it would be a several day process. I suspect he would want the table delivered to him and left for several days.
If he is interested in trying to work something out I will PM you with his contact info.

Wow! Way up there? It will not be worth it. Plus the cost of the work.

Would it make sense, be feasible if I took PIXs and he could let me know how to repair it? Sand, the grit, stain or shellac or whatever....? Teak and an Oak table. ??

TY for your assistance.............your efforts here.

I would think it has some kind of coating on top. (Tho I really do not know.) Sand then varnish? Sand then some type of liquid???

1 guy at a paint store had a liquid coating he said to just rub on it.

A local woodworker said it would take a day. He would pick them up. Sand and do something, then return them. He pissed me off about something so I said no TY............

I agree HHP, interesting to see how all this plays out.

How ever it plays out above, I likely will see if I can have it collaborated before I do anything. Would hate to ruin the 2 table.

Sorry for the delay, had another pressing matter to handle.
I have not been able to contact my friend yet but as soon as he calls I will let you know.

I may be able to help with some advice. I am curious, what part of the table is Teak?, the picture looks like an Oak table.
You would generally not put a film finish on Teak. Normally I would sand the surface to 220 grit with the beginning grit depending on the condition of the surface, and then apply a few coats of Teak oil. The Oak would depend on the type of finish on it now i.e. Lacquer, varnish or polyurethane, as how to proceed.
Please provide as much info. as possible about the table and I will try to coach you on process.

BC7, I just took another look and realized it appears you are talking about two different tables, one Oak and one Teak.
Just spoke to my friend in O.B. and he said he would not be able to take on any more work at this time but he would be willing to talk to you and coach you on what to do.
If you would like I can PM you his email.
