Can anyone recommend an easy way to restore the colour in wooden
furniture that has been bleached by the sun? |

I take it you don't mean that it has turned silver? AFAIK the only way to stop a weathered wooden surface looking silver is to sand it back to unweathered wood. Andy. |

In that case, if there is no varnish involved, perhaps oiling the furniture with Danish Oil might work. Try it on a small area. Other than that wood dye is all I can think of. Andy. |

I've got a lot of plain 'open' wood, mainly just Pine. I use the cheapest
oil I can find which has been Mangers Teak Oil from B & Q. It adds very little colour to the wood. It doesn't stink the house out for a day. I've also used a plant sprayer to apply it to old roof timbers. Cover you mouth if you are spraying it. x-- 100 Proof News - http://www.100ProofNews.com x-- 30+ Days Binary Retention with High Completion x-- Access to over 1.9 Terabytes per Day - $8.95/Month x-- UNLIMITED DOWNLOAD |
