This table currently feels and looks as if there is no layer of protectant on it. However, there are some small areas on te legs that have some form of coating that has worn off over time.
Additionally, there are a series of small nicks that need correcting. Is this project fairly simple to complete or should I send it off.
I was hoping to clean it and apply Danish oil since it seems that the wood is bare. Any suggestions? Blessings

Is this a good protectant to place on bare wood and should I first remove the old residue with mineral spirits. As for the minor indentions I am going to leave them alone for now. Blessings
Lastly, this photograph from an auction site seems to depict some form of non-gloss protectant. What do you think?
.
Hard to tell what is happening. Not a clear pic. Looks like shellac moisture
bloom. You could try rubbing a small area, inside leg, with a cloth and a bit
of denatured alcohol.
Or whatever is still on should be removed.
Final finish is more a matter of taste. I do like Danish oil. It would be nice
to find out what the original finish was. Even if you choose something else.
What you are seeing as a matt non-glare finish could be filtered pro lighting
for the photograph. Clean even light, a 'soft fill' it is sometimes called will
diffuse a harsh flash.
Thank you
Denatured alcohol worked like a charm. Strange thing occurred to me that the Knoll dresser set that I had posted a few days back has the same issue, in that, there is no protectant. The wood looked dried out and I used the danish oil on the set which help revive its condition. Was this a good idea? Blessings
