I'd surely fuck up the order. That looks beautiful. The final product is going to be amazing. Good job!

My dad and I started sanding on thei Gustav Stickley Morris Chair BITD
I let it sit for 10+ years in my basement.
Thinking of giving it to my daughter. Any advice on how to get is as close to OG finish without a full refinishing job? Product? Procedure.
Thanks for that. I was actually just looking into making some bowls/plates for my kids to use. We are trying to get away completely from eating off of plastic. I was wary of putting mineral oil on them as a finish since it’s a man made petroleum product, and was considering an olive oil/beeswax finish. Think I may just skip the finish all together now.Listened to this this week. Guest has her doctorate in wood.

The Best Food-Safe Finish May Be None at All - FineWoodworking
Seri Robinson, a professor of wood anatomy, agrees with the marketers of "food-safe" finishes that bacteria-especially salmonella, listeria, and E. coli-are a threat to human health. But, Robinson says, those finishes can undermine the natural antimicrobial properties of wood. If an unfinished...www.finewoodworking.com
It really doesn’t look bad in the photo. I’d just reupholster and call it good if you’re trying keep the patina.Thanks Pmclaine....the issue is we started to sand the top of the arm rest. Do you think that woyld help the patina we removed blend into the og finish a bit?
Thanks, I think the more I fuck with it the more I decrease the value. I will for sure get some cool new cushions, I would like some sort of oil or other product to rub on the arms we sanded to help belend but not "Rrfinish"It really doesn’t look bad in the photo.

If you completely refinish you can match the colors, but not the patina. I’d start with minwax golden oak as the base color and use either minwax black or minwax dark walnut to mixed with the golden oak to match the darker parts.
It’ll take some experimentation to get there.
It’s hard to tell from the one photo. Can you post photos of the part you sanded, and transition from the sanded portion to the original finish? Good, close up, detailed photos?Thanks, I think the more I fuck with it the more I decrease the value.

@Ric O'shay , some people don't like Murphy's Oil Soap, but I've seen it clean and restore some nasty old furniture, back to where it actually looked pretty good. It would be worth a try, before you go on to more drastic efforts. @BJames , I don't cut juice grooves, because, to be honest, you don't need them. Also, the best way to f up a beautiful finished board, is by f'ing up while cutting the groove. Don't need it, not cutting it.
I’m a Neanderthal with wood, a one trick pony, when your only tool is hand rubbed oil, all wood looks like it needs hand rubbed penetrating oil.Thanks, I think the more I fuck with it the more I decrease the value.

I’d recommend @Ric O'shay sand it down, hit it with some milk paint, and then distress it with sanding blocks.
All the THOTs would buy it on facefuck marketplace.
@powdahound76 , we smoke meat, so I understand what you are saying. I can make good size boards, and good meat can make a mess. Keep a roll of paper towels at the standby!
