<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 1672024, member: 37"]I would start with a good cleaning. After that, strip any remaining finish with lacquer thinner and steel wool. I would then use 3 coats of tung oil varnish applied with a lint-free rag. It is available commercially from several makers or make your own (equal parts oil-based varnish, mineral spirits, and tung oil). Steel wool between coats and afterwards. Finish off with paste wax.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
