Naturally Repair Wood With Vinegar and Canola Oil. So, for a super cheap, use 3/4 cup of oil, add 1/4 cup vinegar. white or apple cider vinegar, mix it in a jar, then rub it into the wood. You don’t need to wipe it off; the wood just soaks it in.
it's a refreshing change to see real wood being restored and being de- stressed rather than distressed.
Good tip, thanks. I remember in my Grandmothers house part of the Spring cleaning ritual was wiping down the furniture with vinegar and water prior to re waxing
My son bought an early 1900 lounge with cane sides and original tapestry cushions with springs. Tapestry is in great condition. Will definetly try this on the wood. Thanks
