As Rachel Ray would say YUM OH !!!!! Great Day, I just can't quite reach through this monitor and snatch that walnut right.....there! Darn it!! Oh well, it sure looks good anyway. Grandson asked for broccoli/chicken stirfry the other night and all of the kids were talking about chopsticks. I think I will pickup some so DH and I can have some entertainment watching the kids try to eat with them! Beautiful table too. Blue is my favorite color. Well.....blue was my favorite color 'till I saw Judith's pinks in all their glory!! Betty

If you can put it out where it can sit in the outside fresh air for a while that might help. I had a butcher block table which had been stored in the garage for years, and when brought back into the house, it had "garage odor", not horrible, but garageish. After about a week of airing out, it was good. How long have you had your table? Has it had time to air out at your house?

I have to tell you of an amazing coincidence that happened, as I searched the web for that ad before you posted it. I used your description to try to find the table to see if there were more pics. Lo and behold, I ended up in the Atlanta, GA CL, where there was nothing like that table at all, but I saw this ad https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/fuo/5795725866.html    where the chairs looked familiar. I went into my DR where I looked again at the chairs that I have stashed in there from a CL buying trip to NH on March of 2015, where I picked up a farm table; an item I'd been casually looking for for years. This is the bad CL ad pic. A friend of mine wanted the pink upholstered chairs, and since we were loading the table, too, when she offered me the 2 rush seat chairs with arms, I didn't need them or think we could fit it all in/on the 4Runner. She either gave them to me or charged me $20 for them, as they needed to empty the house. Thanks to that random CL search for you, I now know that my big, heavy, well-made rush seat chairs are made by Hooker! There is part of a label underneath one, but it's torn off so no name is visible. The family had had the table that I bought for over 25 years and had brought it with them from TX to NH. I'll just assume that the chairs (second pic below that I just took of one) are similar vintage.

Here's a pro tip that won't make that into a major re-finishing chore. What I would do is suggest you go to the craft store like a Micheal's and get a tube of artist oil color Burnt Umber. Be sure to get the oil-based, not the acrylic. Get some medical gloves to wear and a nice cotton rag and apply this thinly to the table. It has an extremely long open time - takes a day to dry - so you can work the burnt umber onto the table and tone it to suit your eye. Get too much on? Simply rag it off. When you get it to where you like it, let it dry at least a day. Now you need to seal the color in, so I would recommend you use a flat clear spray lacquer you can buy in a can. Once you are done spraying, use 0000 grade steel wool and rub it out lightly with the grain. I think you'll like the result. Cost of materials is under $ 20 for all. - Duane Collie
