Here is a preview of the Farm Table I did a similar finish on.  It had a composite top made up of lots of pieces of wood glued together.  There are 1,000’s of these floating around out there.  Maybe you even have one in your kitchen?  For the most part, these are well made tables, but over time, the finish wears, and some people think the only option is to replace the table, or paint.  I will be back Monday with a tutorial to show you how to make anything look like real wood.  Even plastic.
