    I had the same question. I am going to use it on my wood stair rails. They get so dark with lots of use, and on a vintage piece that a friend gave me. I'll try to post some Before and After pics. Anyone have B&A pics to share?? What fun to see the difference.

    Thanks for the formula!

    You can purchase it. The can says Boiled Linseed Oil. I have always used it after I have stripped the piece and before the paste wax. I like to see and touch the original wood not shellac, varnish, and definitely not polyurethane.

    Double bless your heart. I have a OLD mirror that I remember dad using to shave with all my life. Mom cleaned it with something and ruined the finish. I will try this to try and save the original finish. THANKS!
