I used Howard's Restore Finish, then the Feed & Wax. I do need to say, that isn't easy. The Restore took ALOT of elbow grease, was not easy.
I have another treadle to do yet, so dark you can't see the Tiger pattern. Can't imagine the work that's going to be required to lighten it back up.
Just doing this one, took 8.5 hrs
My treadle is pretty dark, too. Did you just keep rubbing with the Restore Finish on a rag or did you use steel wool? Did you put it on and let it sit for awhile? Sorry for all the questions but your cabinet came out so beautiful. The treadle cabinet that I have looks almost like yours but is on the darker side. I love oak wood but like mine a little lighter.
This is the cabinet, although it looks lighter in the picture. It's the cabinet on the left side of the picture--not the parlor cabinet.
