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. Gwyn, Who used to go to gargae sales and find stuff to refurbish with her mum. ~ make sure you use gloves and a mask.. esp if it has been painted over. ( if painted over strip it first) I looooooove wood furniture.
