Parental Wisdom: Furniture Finish Renewal

From the desk and experience of my mom:

Before
Use this mixture to cover scratches and renew the finish of antique pieces without the hassle of refinishing.

Step-by-Step

1.) Mix equal parts boiled linseed oil, white vinegar and mineral spirits in a glass jar.

2.) Apply the mixture to the finish using 0000 grade steel wool.  Scrub in small circles to re-spread the finish over the scratched areas and lift paint.  Allow to dry.
Before
After

3.) Buff the finish using a soft, lint free, cotton cloth.  (An old t-shirt works well.)
