Time to change this table from a dark finish to a light wood finish! You ready?!

I bought a handheld sander and sanded with an 80 grit sanding disc.

I then used a 220 grit to smooth it out.

What a difference already!

I applied this finish to protect the wood but still have a natural wood finish.

BEFORE: AFTER: It's amazing what sanding can do!
