A lot of the surface is greyed bare wood, from sun and age, I guess. Ours is identical to this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/Large-Vintage-40s-Rattan-Bar-2-Railings-BUY-IT-NOW_W0QQitemZ6205664715QQcategoryZ12514QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I did a search here, and saw a thread about using Citrus-strip to re-do rattan, but I can't find any info on what to do when it's down to the bare wood. We don't want a musuem quality resto or anything, just 'patio-presentable'. Any help? Thanks. [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore - Fixed glitch in subject formatting - 2005-09-05 14:08 ]
