I have a very old wooden plank floor - probably over 100 years old. The wood

I've sanded it to clean it up and want to give some sort of protection but
NOT a gloss finish.

Can I just use a light stain or does it have to be floor varnish - or have I
missed something about floor protection?


Have you considered wax? On its own or over a light oil? You don't have
to buff it up to a high sheen. Or even just oil?

Obviously provides a much lower level of protection that sound varnish
layers.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
