How do you preserve old wooden boxes?
1 Answer
To preserve old wooden boxes, you can apply an oil or clear coat finish. Products that may be suitable for use include linseed oil, clear lacquer and polyurethane. However, you should always read the label on products first to ensure that the finish or oil is safe to use on the type of wood. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of wooden boxes.
