For you wood workers.
I perspire easy and there is now a darker color stain where my arm is on the wooden desk.
What is your recommendation for refinishing the desk top.
How and what would I use to strip it, if that is part of the process? What kid of finish do you recommend.

Hi John,
I'm going to assume this is solid wood, probably oak ? Dark/black stains in oak are consistently removed using oaxalic crystals mixed in hot water. It takes a "touch", but not really anything "professional" about it. You just need to be careful, but the end result will be worth it. Oaxalic acid is wood "bleach". You WILL have to clear coat the top when done....maybe a touch of stain first, depending on the rest of the piece. I can give you blow by blow steps, if you decide to go this route.
Lemme know.
Bill
