<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 250153, member: 37"]I think it would be a shame to paint this. While solid woods can be stripped and sanded back to bare wood, oak is the worst wood for this. Paint will collect in all the grain crevices and must either be picked out or sanded to death. This table looks to be in very good original condition that could never be retrieved if painted. Can't you find something less significant to paint? It is not like it has a lot of value right now but that could/will change as fashion changes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
