This is the BEST solution for wood it cleans and feeds the wood enough oil to restore any dry areas My mom use to use this for all the -some ones junk to her treasures from yard sales She got the recipe from her Great Granpa

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!

Can you boil oil without it flaming?
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!

I am going out to buy needed ingredients today. I have an antique sewing cabinet from my Grandma and I have been wanting to clean it up but wasn't sure what to use. Thank you for the info
