Working on restoring my family’s old dining room table. It's the closest thing I have to a family heirloom, my dad got it out of someone’s back yard when my folks first got married. It was pretty beat up, he sanded most of the marks out of the top, varnished it and put it to use. I got it from them last year, all the glue joints were coming loose and a piece or two missing. Cool old table, solid oak double drop leaf, made probably early 50’s by a company called A. Brandt. It was a line they produced called “Ranch Oak”. It was made to look like the pieces were rough cut out with a chisel.

I came upon a desk and file cabinet for sale online, used, and it stated it was Stickley. It looked very newish, and I was suspicious of the claim, the inside drawer was burned with the word "Stickley" with a nice logo tag nailed to the inside drawer as well. They wanted 4000.00 for the set, it was beautiful and made very well and with solid American hardwood. I said to myself, this can't be, it's gotta be a fake. Well is wasn't, well it wasn't in the sense that there still is a "Stickley" furniture business open and alive. The furniture is beautiful and high quality, you won't find any prices on their furnishings, you know the old saying, if you have to ask then, well you know the rest. From what I could tell, the quality is very good, excellent, I think the Stickley brothers would be proud.

We just bought a salvaged dining table from Restoration hardware. It doesn't seem to have any type of sealer on it. The first time I put a hot cup of coffee on it, it left a ring. When I tried to wipe with a wet cloth, something on the wood rubbed off, and it became a lighter spot. Now we don't dare use it at all. But will need to. What do you recommend we put on this table to prevent stains. This is a current dining table sold at RH if you need more info. I have no idea what type of wood it is or how old. Thanks, Anne
