Treating a wooden bar table

A wooden bar table adds atmosphere to your home. Wood is a natural material that already has a warm look of its own, so a wooden bar table instantly makes your home feel a lot cozier! It is important, however, to treat your wooden bar table. Wood is a beautiful material, but untreated it is also very vulnerable. You do not want to spill wine, coffee or oil on an untreated piece of wood, because it soaks in immediately. So especially if people sometimes eat or drink at your wooden bar table, it is a good idea to find out how to keep it in good condition.

Treating your wooden bar table is relatively simple. You will probably want to tape off a few things first, though. Especially if your wooden bar table has steel legs, it is smart to tape them off. You may also want to remove some unevenness. If so, sand the wood first. Once you have done this and wiped the wooden top of your bar table with a damp cloth, you are almost ready to start. It can be wise to cover the floor with old newspapers or other scrap paper, but after that you can really get started with Osmo TopOil. It is important to stir the oil for two minutes first, so that the oil and wax are well mixed. Then it is time to apply the oil. A small brush or a roller usually works best for this. It can also be worthwhile to apply several coats to your bar table.
