That brings back memories of all the controversy about how to care for wood furniture; leather too! :-D
Linda, yes and woodworkers are still up in arms over this. It is funny at that. I had a lady bring me a table to restore. She tried to do it herself the problem was that a famous woodworker told he to strip the piece and then feed the wood linseed oil. She came to me saying that the wood would not take a stain nor would shellac stick to the wood. It took me three days to strip the oil so I could refinish the thing. Glenn
wow.... even I know better. :shock:
