1. remove the varnish or plastic coat. Use paint or varnish remover. There are non-toxic types today and are safe to breath or have children around.

2: sand down with 220 grit with palm sander. Do not try to remove the old stain. Take your time not to make holes or round off the edges too much. Sand enough to make it smooth with your hand. Hand sand all the edges. Any holes or cracks... you can fill using the saw dust from the sanding and mix it with yellow glue and rub it in with your finger. Then a wet paper towel and wipe off the clue or the stain will not stick. You never tell the difference.

3: Get Miniwax Mahogany stain. And foam brushes.

4: follow the instructions on the can. Use tack clothes to remove the dust

5: Apply even coats and keep it wet and use a rag to feather the color from dry to wet area. Let the rag give you the color and texture you like. Do a section at a time and take your time, because the stain dries fast. Follow the grain. Do not let it dry before you have it feathered or it will cake up and have to start all over again. You have to be an artist and create painting.

6. I recommend poly for the over coat so it will keep spills and keep it clean easily. Also is much harder for all the abuse it gets.How do you restain/revarnish a mahogany wooden round kitchen table?
