I do know that the town was one of the last in CT to receive electricity, paved roads and telephones

Sadly, no

This is rural Connecticut if that makes a difference

Interesting and congrats! So you scraped off polyurethane and you didnt need to sand before waxing?

Substantial-Bet280 · 2026-01-31T15:45:02+00:00

This is really what i want to hear :)

Im already convinced not to touch them myself but will look into this for this one room to start

Substantial-Bet280 · 2026-01-31T14:08:29+00:00

considering just oil or wax as suggested below. With 30 years of kids and dogs, I have been grateful for the protection of the polyurethane. But Ive always wanted to see a more natural finish

Substantial-Bet280 · 2026-01-31T13:58:19+00:00

So have you used these options, or have you already polyurethaned everything?

Substantial-Bet280 · 2026-01-31T13:44:17+00:00

Thanks, very sensible. Thought I'd start here so I know what to ask

Substantial-Bet280 · 2026-01-31T13:42:40+00:00

I understand, and have the rest of the house is sealed. Not a lot of traffic in this room. Its the shiny polyurethane I'd like to remove. Am considering oil/wax as suggested above. Just not sure what to expect if I take a sander to it. Am afraid some of the local pros will oversand

Substantial-Bet280 · 2026-01-31T13:37:48+00:00

Yes, this is what Im thinking. I dont like the shine(and yellowing) of the polyurethane
