Update on burnt table

The table is more involved than I first thought. I first thought that I would be able to just refinish the top of the table. As I was sanding I discovered a scuff that was through the finish on one side of the table and fairly large, also the finish on one leg was bubbled from heat damage. I have now removed all of the finish from the whole table with a heat gun and begun the sanding process. I have used 80 grit sand paper and removed the slight charring on the table top. I then used 100 grit sand paper to begin the smoothing process. Today I will finish with 180 grit paper and then clean up the whole piece with a tack cloth to remove any dust and debris remaining on the table and legs. Barring any more complications I should be ready to apply the new finish to the table tomorrow.
