HI PAT, on refinishing your cart it is necessary to thoroughly sand before applying your finish. I assume cart is made of ash and oak and if you have let it go bare in some spots the wood might be discolored and might need to be bleached out to get rid of dark stains. It is nice to use a vibrator sander on the large flat areas but will require a lot of hand work on spokes and other small areas. there are high quality paper made by 3 M that i would recommend as they cut faster and last longer. Start with a 100 grit and finish with 150 to remove sanding scratches. Either a good marine varnish or exterior polyurethane would be fine. This bit from an old wooden boat builder.

Should I sand the wood and get the old finish off? Then, should I use a polyurethane protection? I don't want to start until I'm sure of what I'm doing. I've considered sending the cart out to someone, but was afraid it would be too costly. Any suggestions or comments would be welcomed! Thanks and Happy Memorial Day!
