We are in the process of ripping up our carpets and have found some beautiful hardwoods underneath. I'm assuming they are original to the house (95 yrs old). I have no idea where to begin with refinishing them. I actually like the color and would love to avoid sanding if possible. However, there are paint spills and some sort of build up/damage on the finish. The wood itself looks like it's in great shape but the finish is pretty rough looking. There are scratches and areas of unevenness in the finish. Is there anyway I can fix this and put a new coat of finish on without having to sand? Also, anyone have any guess what type of wood this is? The first picture is more representative of the actual color of the floors (more redish).
