Which makes me sound a real idiot. But I've never actually done it before, so I thought I'd better check. I got second hand a little wooden desk - think it's French, old but not antique, I think it's pine but not an orangey pine. Somebody has started sanding it, so I'm thinking of finishing that off and then giving it a coat or something. So, quick questions:
- wax or matt varnish?
- if wax, does it have to be a special wax or any old wax?
- coloured wax to darken it a bit - good idea or dodgy?
- I just rub it in and polish it off, yes?
- do I have to rewax periodically?
I'd be hugely grateful for any advice before I get stuck in and do something wrong!
