Using the steel wool, apply the Homer's, rubbing with the grain of the wood. You may have to repeat it several times, wiping the wood dry each time.
When it's looking the way you want it to, finish up with Homer's Beeswax and Orange oil...following the directions.
Don't sand the veneer. veneer is so thin that it's easy to wear completely through it.
That's a beautiful machine!
Charlee, what is the expected result using the Homers? I bought a can and have been working on my new aquisition from the auction, and I dont see that it is helping very much. Perhaps my expectations are too high? I thought that it would sort of melt the old finish and redistibute in an overall look. I have been rubbing and rubbing and the old doesnt seem to be changing much..Am I just too impatient....
