wife inherited a old armoire-about 75 yrs old. veneer marquetry with
nice patina on outside. Trouble is, inside has a musty smell. Looks to
be some kind of softwood stained dark. I tried 2 coats of waterbased
poly on inside but it still smells.

Any ideas on getting rid of smell or sealing it in?

thanks
