1) One dining table, solid oak, 50 years old, with leaves and six matching chairs, $150 at a garage sale down the street 'cause the finish was wrecked.
2) One can of of Restore-a-Finish and one bottle of orange-oil/wax, plus assorted rags and #0000 steel wool, ~$20.

did the left half look about as bad as the right, beforehand?

[mr_cellaneous]

Yep. And now both halves look like the left part of the picture.

You have done a marvelous transformation. I wonder if I can do the same with our dining table... (Darn it! I don't need any more projects until I finish a few I've already started...) But it sure looks great!
