Oak desk.
Center drawer bottom is unfinished and unprotected and dried out. Is Howard's Feed and Wax (carnuba wax, bee's wax and orange oil) appropriate to rejuvenate ? Suggestions please. |

It may "change" the appearance, I would not go so far as to say rejuvenate. Simply adding varnish would change the appearance and be more protective of the finish. And I am assuming that the bottom of the drawer is actually the bottom of the drawer and not the bottom of the drawer front. And for that matter, does the bottom of a drawer really matter what it looks like? |

When it deirs out and warps and cracks and comes loose something needs to be done with it.Citric acid and glycerine is another option to explore (CA-G) |
