    Default Silky Oak "glory box" restoration

    Hi!

    I'm restoring a silky oak glory box-which is kind of like a trunk, but with silky oak ply walls and a solid frame. The box has a finish I've seen on other pieces of silky oak furniture-quite dark and difficult to remove. I'm wondering if it's best to try and remove the finish (if so, what sort of product should I use-I'm wary of doing too much sanding) or should I just revive the finish (if so, what should I use?)???

    Cheers!

    If you want a quick result and the finish on the box is OK, (Pic would help) you could try just a good rub over with Pale boiled linseed oil.


    Cheers
