Update stripping away the layers

I have been working on this coffee table for far too long but I must admit my efforts have been derailed a few times.  It is garden season and so I had preparing and planting to do.  Gardening is work in the first place but this was the first year at our new home and so there was much to do.  Then I  got side tracked by painting the sun room (see absence of color).  So...I have disciplined myself and we will complete this project this week!  However, I wanted to update you and let you see what was underneath that old orange/brown dingy stain.  It is so amazing!  
For those of you who have always wanted to tackle refinishing a piece of furniture I will post some tips for you soon!  As you can see from the pics, there are some stripping and sanding challenges with the feet and the brass bead strip was tarnished.  We found some great products that made the job easier!  Signing off until it is finished....
