TLC for my B460

[leif]

My good old B460 have not been used for long. I would like to give it some good tender love and care, but what to do to make the wood be as new? It actually do not look bad at all as it is now, but some good treatment can only make it better. Any products recommended to use, and something I sould avoid to do?

Hi Leif, you got photos?

A good teak oil without any stain, and fine steel wool to work it in is what I would use. Over here in the far flung marches I use Whatco brand teak oil. I don't know if that is available in Norway but most certainly something is with all the furniture companies that are over there.

Here's one option:

A gentle warning about using the old favorite linseed and turpentine cocktail: Serious ventilation is required and the rags are highly flammable when done.

Watco Tung Oil and Danish oil has varnish/polymers and hardeners in it.

I would not use on a hand rubbed oiled finish.

Steel wool in moist climes can rust.

Plus steel wool and strong magnetic fields aren't a good mix. I like real shellac.
