Spks. wood veneer is drying out.

I've used Old English furniture lemon oil on my Snell Js with great results.

I use orange oil you can usually get it an an antique dealer they use it for maintaing and help in restoring wood of antiques, naturally

Hi Kotta,

I recently used Tung oil on the wood hoops and interior shell of a maple snare drum. I used multiple applications buffing with 0000 steel wool in between coats and I am very pleased with the results.

I recommend using 100% pure Tung oil - not a mixture of Tung oil and petroleum. The Tung oil is rather thick and aggressive. Don't unintentionally get it on any surface. It will ge hard to get off.

Best,

Barry

use pure lemon oil & rub in 2 coats every couple of months,it will bring back 99% of the lustre that they used to have.
