I have a rosewood dining room table with mismatched color. One of the halves has faded significantly from the darker brown/purplish color of rosewood to a light brown/tan color. It's noticibly different from the other half of the table and the leaves. I'm trying to sell the table (whole set actually) but the color difference keeps turning buyers off. The table is about 15 years old.
Can I strip the topcoat (I have no idea what it is) and restain one or all the pieces to match? I've stripped, restained and poly'd oak chairs before, but I'm a bit wary of a "real" pice of furniture. But then again I don't have too much to lose...
