THE BEST "STUFF" ON THE MARKET!
Readers; This retired woodworker, old house owner and 'lover' and historian has a review of a good wood finish product for ALL woods.  In the case of the wooden top shown in the image: these are the two lids to a 1925 Victor Talking Machine and its radio set. When I brought it home, all the mahogany finish was 'ugly, black, dirty and 100% filthy and uncared for a 100yrs"<br />  I set to work with the related product-"Skidmores Restoration Cream"  and 000 grade steel wool-- to get the 'ugly off". The rags were so dirty, that even after a wash, they were stained black. Much labor and some Time, and the 'ugly' was gone.  Next step- The'' Skidmores Finish" compound. This is far and away better than ANY petro-chemical wood finish--petro-chemical finishes are NOT good for wood or wood finishes.<br />  I put this on with a short bristle paint brush, being sure to cover ALL the surface of the wood. Then let it sit half of one day and all of the following night.  In the AM, I got a whole sack of micro fiber rags out, and went to work on the cabinet. First, rags to take off the excess product. Then, a clean, new one, in fine, it was one rag for all 06 sides. This buffs out the finish.  When done, you can toss a dime on top and watch it glide off the other side.  Now, you can judge from the Photo, how it looks.  And note too- this photo is done with a cheap flip phone camera.  The reflection you see is from an East facing window-the photo taken a circa Noon.<br />  If you want a wood finish that works, is good for the wood, and good for your hands{no gloves nor HAZMAT suit needed for this product} and smells fabulous - this is the ONLY one to buy- as I have been for several years, and for all my antique furniture.
