Simon demonstrates a step by step, easy to follow guide, of how to professionally restore a teak dining table. Suitable for all Mid Century brands of furniture including: G-Plan, Nathan, McIntosh, Gordon Russell and of course Danish Mid Century Furniture.

Included within this video is a demonstration of how Gilboys use Oxalic Acid on Oak and Mahogany to revive the original colour and remove stubborn stains. Also demonstrating how to carefully remove individual marks in the wood using a fine detail brush.

Simon then goes on to show how to highlight and revive the faded original darker grain using traditional french polishing techniques.

Another trade secret revealed in this video is how Simon shows how you can use rose gold beeswax polish to help recolour the table and then overcoat it with a second application of the hard wax oil.

And then beeswax polished for a second time with Gilboys rose gold to complete this highly effective natural finish.

Gilboys Furniture Restoration was established in 1994.
Simon Gilboy was apprenticed by Dartington Trust and with the help of the Princes Trust established his furniture restoration business just outside of Totnes in South Devon, UK.
