Hello everybody,

My dining table made of recycled wood need a refreshing. After planing, what finishes would you recommend? I'd like it to be easy to clean and have a matte finish.

Thanks !

You're going to want to fill and then sand that edge piece no matter what you do...

Once that is done, then finish it however you want. But before you start, evaluate if you want to just flip that edge board, you most likely do.
