Default Cleaning up untreated wood

This chair was made by my son-in-law who asked me to finish it off for him. It is a lovely chair and very well made but had been left outside in a shed for years without being treated with anything.

It took many hours of sanding it down as there were a lot of black flecks in the wood. I started sanding the wood with a rough sandpaper going on to a medium grade and then fine before waxing it twice with a clear wax and wire wool. Then I upholstered the chair.

I hope that answers a little more about waxing AONB ;-)
