What can I put on my kitchen table to protect it?
I bought a farm house kitchen table (homemade) I can’t remember what they told me to use on the table top. It’s looking dried out, bowing out or up and separating. I keep thinking the seller told me clear lacquer. Please help I love this table

Hi Gretchen, is the table stained or sealed already? Is it bare wood? If it's unfinished, I would say you could use a wood conditioner. You can also peek here: https://patch.com/georgia/johnscreek/tricks-for-restoring-wood-furniture-no-sanding-requir22af485bd9
Call them back and ask! It shouldn't be drying out and cracking at all. Can you post a photo?
You can use coconut oil or cooking oil. Also there is a product called liquid gold in a can.
Hi Grechen,
Here's an article about restoring wood. This should help bring it back. I hope it helps. Wishing you the best.
