<p>[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 10410913, member: 20148"]A friend of mine who is extremely ill has moved into a care assisted flat at a care centre. We tried to find some furniture and effects from his house to take down to the flat to help make him feel at home. The most important thing was the antique kitchen table! Unfortunately, he is one of those people that the bigger the table, the more clutter he can have on it!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Interestingly, when he got the table , about ten years back, he carefully cleaned the surface and treated it with..............................plant based margarine! It didn't smell too nice for a few days, but when the margarine had soaked in and the table was buffed it looked and felt amazing, and even now after years of abuse, it still does. So much so, that many dealers when they have visited him at home have asked to buy it! has anybody else tried this? Not that I am planning to do this with my table though!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
