Looks to be a great investment for any serious angler! Return a rocking chair to its former glory. Some rocking chairs date back decades. If they are still solid, you may get additional decades of enjoyment out of it. If the chair is grayish or rough with flaking paint or varnish, don't worry about it. You can update that chair in one afternoon with some sandpaper and a few finishing materials. Stripping If you have a rocking chair in need of refinishing, it probably still has varnish on it that needs to be removed. Don't knock yourself out trying to sand it off. Chemical stripper will dissolve any finish in a few minutes. Place the chair on a drop cloth. Don protective glasses and plastic gloves. Dip a brush into an open can of stripper and liberally paint the chair with the stripper. When you finish painting it, use a putty knife to scrape the gelled finish off the chair.
Use small, sharpened sticks to scrape inside corners, and for the tightest of spaces, you can use a wire brush to get the finish off. If some of the finish is stubborn, paint it again with stripper, wait a few minutes, then scrape it off. Preparation Always sand rocking chairs by hand. Don't use orbitals or electric sanders. The parts are too narrow, and you'll only damage the chair. Fold a piece of 100-grit sandpaper four times. Use it like a pad to sand all of the chair parts smooth. Use the edge of the folded sandpaper like a knife to fit into tight spaces. Roll the sandpaper into a cylinder and spin it around spindles with your fingers. If you see any loose splinters, pull them up, inject some glue under them and secure them with masking tape. If you have deep gouges, pits or holes, fill them with wood putty. After everything is dry, sand the chair one more time -- but this time, sand only parallel to the grain of the wood to remove cross-grain scratches. Finish You may apply stain to the rocking chair or leave it natural.
If you decide to use stain, liberally wipe it on the chair, then immediately wipe it off with a dry cloth. Let it dry according to manufacturer's directions. For best results, use an aerosol varnish or lacquer. Airborne finishes get into tight spaces better than any brush, and are not as likely to run or drip. Hold the can eight inches from the surface of the chair at a 30-degree angle. Spray everything with a single, even coat. Wait the appropriate time for the finish to dry, then sand the chair by hand with 180-grit sandpaper. Wipe off the excessive dust, and finish with one more heavy coat of lacquer or varnish. Oil Some rocking chairs, especially older ones, benefit from oil-based stain. This type of stain sinks deep into the pores of the wood to feed and offer flexibility to brittle wood. Natural plant-based chemicals in the stain such as linseed, or tung oil protect wood better than other types of stain. In addition, this type of stain may be purchased in different colors. It can be reapplied to the chair every few months to keep it refreshed.
