    It depends on how refinished you want it. We like to use a mix of:

    1/3 shellac

    1/3 turpintine

    1/3 boiled linseed oil


    Combine and wipe down furniture and allow to dry. Doesn't smell great, so work in a well ventilated area. We have some antique doors that we did this treatment on over ten years ago and still like it.

    It's pricey -- but a little goes a looooong way -- and, best part, NO prep!

    You haven't said it was a table.

    You can paint any furniture with chalk paint, decopatch with book pages, cover with material. You can mosaic. But it depends on what the furniture is.
