Ultimately it is the catkins of many oaks that turn into the acorns, so maybe that popular phrase… ‘mighty oaks from little acorns grow’ should be ‘mighty oaks from little catkins grow’ although it doesn’t quite have the same ring does it? At the time he also gave me a jar of mahogany stain and some fantastic waxy bars that remove scratches from all sorts of finished timber. I don’t know whether, for a door facing South, clear Osmo will be enough protection against the elements.

I would not expect the varnish to have this impact on the wood and it will certainly not draw out any moisture from the wood. The tannins are dormant in the warmer months and become active in the winter, and is like candy for mould spores, the dampness will also encourage this.

You can use either, the main thing to remember is that you must de-grease with something like sugar soap and allow to dry thoroughly before applying oil or woodstains. It is also fair to say that the application of a colour will improve the protection and appearance longer than a clear product will, the pigments are great UV filters and so you could take a look at the Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain as Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain option for this.

A piece of wood this size will take a long time to dry out naturally and if kiln dried may have needed longer than it originally got. A pressure cleaner may be an option, however its not one that I would necessarily recommend as it could damage the current finish.

With any stripper a test area should always be carried out first to ensure there is no adverse reaction.Hi, I have an old bookcase purchased from a house clearence sale, I’ve no idea how old it is, was promised it was oak, I’ve removed the varnish, (after reading comments, I now know I used too much water) to wipe if after scraping off the paint stripper.

Its worth baring in mind that the top coat of varnish will slightly darken the colour also and full test areas are recommended to ensure you are getting the desired finish. If you would like a more natural appearance to the wood you could also look at a Hard Wax Oil, this soaks into the wood and become part of it. Whilst Vinegar is good for many things, I would not necessarily recommend it for cleaning wood, although it depends on the type of vinegar you use, as it can react with the wood.When you choose a table top made from French Oak, you are selecting a material that has been meticulously cared for and managed since the earliest stages of its life.
