Childrens School Furniture

I bought an old hard wood childrens school desk (and chair) that has a hole for the ink well. Could you give some advice as to what is the best polish or treatment? I don't want them to look new, but it looks like they could use some moisture. I've heard that some furniture polishes are not that good for old furniture..

I have over 17 years in woodworking, finishing and refinishing experience. Personally, I use my antiques, I could care less about 18th century being worth blah, blah… It’s nice to know that, “yes that ugly black mahogany table is worth 15K.. But ya know what… It’s ugly. “ If you want to keep it for a museum piece then I REALLY suggest contacting ANY museum and asking them about what is best. They will be glad to answer. As for ME.. I use beeswax for preservation. JUST like the museums. Car polish is NOT a substitute. Other waxes can either leave the piece white in colour or yellow. What actually happens with wax is that when applied it actually softens the OLD wax and never builds up. This is NOT like spray waxes. This is hand applied stuff.. do a small area etc.. BE CAREFUL. Wax can strip old finishes become gummy because of water based finishes, dirt, buildup of cheep polishes, etc…. Who knows what care your piece had prior so adding a “finish” like tung oil etc is possibly asking for trouble. Usually the piece is cleaned with mild soap and then a finish is applied. NO, NO, NO!!! Why should you NOT do this. The water based finish JUST might go bye, bye. UNLESS you are a pro. DO NOT use a wood cleaner. They can be stripers just as easy. I’ve used wood cleaning solutions to strip old finishes. Non toxic and lemony fresh. (Just joking about the lemony fresh)

Since I can’t SEE the piece. Really. Call a museum and ask if they can take 10 minutes of their time to help ya. They might even let ya bring the desk there and take a look at for ya.

If you would like to help the children sell their art, please see
http://aschiana.com/default.asp?action=a rticle&ID=34 and my blog at http://myafghanistanangels.blogspot.com for addresses to help. I want to buy frames for the art work and do not have a CM ruler, can you convert the cm to inches for me so that I can buy the frames? Most of sizes are as follows:
60x90cm , 53x65cm , 33x54cm, 90x120cm , 60x80cm , 45x60cm , 160x100cm , 65x95cm , 133x66cm I would appreciate your help. Please see the pictures at the Aschiana website provided so that you could tell me which size frames to purchase for each. I am not sure which one I will get yet, I am looking for one to go over my couch in the living room that will balance well with the furniture. I also ask that you spread the word about my blog and the Aschiana School and help to improve the quality of these childrens lives. You will be very much appreciated for helping me with the frame sizes and for helping the children. Thanks

To convert cm to inches, divide the cm by 2.54. For example, a 60x90cm picture in inches measures 23.62x35.43 inches.
