<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 69280, member: 37&quot;]Really looks like it doesn&#039;t need all that much work.&nbsp; I would start by cleaning it well with mineral spirits (white spirit in the UK).&nbsp; This should remove any wax or other oil-based grime.&nbsp; If there are any spots that don&#039;t come clean with the mineral spirits, clean them with soap and water but try not to get the wood too wet. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a couple approaches you could take with this desk.&nbsp; Many people would strip the rest of the finish off and apply a new finish.&nbsp; An easier but technically harder approach would be to even out the existing finish and supplement it as necessary.&nbsp; The first approach will leave you with a more uniform look.&nbsp; The second will leave it as a worn but nicely presentable antique. I have done both but prefer the second approach these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
