Determine if a piece needs refinishing or restoration of the old finish. If it's painted, get out the refinishing supplies, but if it's just grungy looking, try cleaning it first. Antique FurnitureThere are lots of cleaning supplies for antique wood furniture, one good one is Furniture Cleaner.IF THE FURNITURE IS ANTIQUE, always remember that THE LEAST YOU CAN DO TO IT, THE BETTER IT IS and the antique furniture will hold a much higher value with the least change. If the old finish is intact and not worn thin, then leave it. If it has worn
thin in places, then leave it and add more finish over the old to preserve it. | ||

Wood stain
Only the finest oils, resins and pigments are used to produce stains so rich in color and so easy to use. Antique RestorationHutch With a Chicken Manure Finish
We started restoration of the antique by exterminating bugs with a commercial bug spray, then took a spray bottle of water and
softened the chicken manure and scraped gently with a plastic scraper until the
big chunks were all gone. We continued antique restoration with paint thinner and 0000 steel wool to
clean the remainder of the manure from the nooks and crannies and pores of
exposed wood (drawer sides and interior). Restored Antique Furniture Brings JoyWe heard many stories related to furniture pieces that we did, both antique and newer, and saw many tears of joy over pieces which we restored that people thought were totally beyond restoration.
