<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 111323, member: 36"]I put a new finish on a skinned mid-Victorian desk with tung oil when I was in high school. Straight up tung oil. I must have done a dozen coats on parts of it. Someone who shall not be named had stripped off the old grungy finish (sob!) when I was in diapers and it sat in the basement until I got it into my head to put it back together. It looks really nice now, not original but nice. Your desk will look a lot closer to what it's supposed to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
