This is my first email to you all, so I thank you in advance!

We have a mid-19th century walnut table in our collection that has some sort
of varnish or shellac covering that is now cloudy, cracked, and uneven.  We
know that certain cleaners, refinishers, etc can be very damaging, so we
want to know what is the proper way to treat the wood in order to get it
looking nice again while maintaining the integrity of the piece.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
