ORIGINAL: KMsAngel i love it when i finally get my new (very old) pantry. it's in bad shape, needs some tlc. can't wait to get to the hardware shop tomorrow. anyone know anything about old wood? i can't decide if it just needs to be oiled (linseed oil??) or stained. and can i stain after i've oiled if needs be?? the wood's very dry. *runs to ebay to look for old handles* Ok so heres what ya do.. Sand, oil.. leave it for a bit.. then stain, and wax. Home Depo has wonderful folks andd little flyers to take you through the process.

( if painted over strip it first) I looooooove wood furniture.
