Sole Refinishing

Refinishing
This sole was refinished with a power orbital sander, and a progression of 100 grit, 150 grit, and 220 grit sandpaper. The sole was deeply scratched and worn both underneath the table and the nav station. I had my doubts as to whether or not I could sand down to the depth of the scratches without going through the teak and holly veneer. They looked terrible the way they were and I felt I had nothing to lose so I started sanding.
They cleaned up better than I thought was possible, given the depth of the scratches. After 3 coats of a marine spar varnish, and 1 coat on the backside, they looked pretty good. These "after" photos were taken 7 years after I refinished the sole. They have held up well.
