On a related refinishing issue,I have two old Witco pieces: a tiki and a wahine carving. Both have lost their protective finishes (the wood is bare).
The tiki was very dryed out and cracked when I found her, so I applied liberal amounts of lemon oil. That worked for awhile, but she is drying out again.
The wahine carving was painted, but her color has faded. I have done nothing to preserve her for fear of damaging the paint that is left.
I would appreciate any suggestios on how best to preserve both objects.
Also, -- this question is mainly for Basement Kahuna -- the varnish on one side of the tiki I have from the Imperial Luau is milky. Any ideas on how to treat the finish so I get a look that is consitent with the rest of the piece?
Mahalo,
