<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MissSissy, post: 97565, member: 1388&quot;]For those that haven&#039;t read my introduction post.. I am a total newbie to antiques to which I may have picked up pieces over the years only if I liked them.&nbsp; I rarely know what they are other than; a chair is a chair, a basket is a basket, and so on.&nbsp; It really doesn&#039;t matter the value or age.. it just matters if it will look good in my house.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, last year I found a chair that is all wood with a splint seat.&nbsp; It is so very dry and brittle!&nbsp; It wiggles at all the joints, and it looks like someone tried to &quot;fix&quot; some joints with a few nails here and there.&nbsp; I read here on the forum, to put water on the piece, oil it, and then wax it.&nbsp; My question is, what oil should I use, and is there any particular wax that should be used?&nbsp; Also, can I do the same things to some of my brittle baskets?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would greatly be appreciated.&nbsp; I love my simple little chair!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - I would love to learn what type of chair this is... possibly shaker?&nbsp; Any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]24678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]24679[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
