Part of my wife’s inheritance was a ladies writing desk and a wall mounted display cabinet - pictures below.
The wall cabinet only needs a “freshening up” but the desk has some loose joints and some staining.
Both have been neglected for years.
I want to give them both a clean up before assessing what else I need to do. I have read here, and read reviews of Howards RestorAfinish and want to know whether this is the right product to use for the initial clean up.

At the front of the desk, around the key hole, is an embossed wooden shape that has some damage. They are oak so I’m wondering the best way to repair. I could cut the section out, back to the door surface then replace, but I’m not sure whether this is the best option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
