I’m trying to refinish a piece of probably 100+ year old red oak. It had I think a shellac on it for many years. The piece above is new red oak. Will I ever be able to get the old wood to be close to the new red oak? I’ve been sanding for a while and feels like it won’t get any lighter… is this like pine where over time it just ages and colors more?
