Ugh, woodworking, not my forte either. I'm almost finished sanding down an old Yield House farmhouse table with drawer that had been curbed. If my mom hadn't wanted it I wouldn't have bothered. The sanding is just to make it presentable; the finish was trashed, looked like it had been outside forever. I had to dismantle the thing completely, and un-warp the top after letting it get rained on with the cross-bracing removed.
