Reviving A Classic Oak Treasure: Vintage Box Restoration

In this video I will be refurbishing a home-made oak box. I believe that it was used to hold a canteen of cutlery, possibly for a wedding in 1957. As I don't have the cutlery I'll be fitting the box out with dividers so that it can be used for a collection of some sort.

    From the original lining I thought it had held a canteen of cutlery but as I don't have the cutlery I thought I'd make it more generic, probably for a collection as you suggested. The dividers are removable so it could always be reconfigured. Thanks for getting in touch

    That's a whole can of worms! Some use it, some don't but it seals the open pores of the timber prior to the application of the next coat, meaning that more of it stays on the surface and less of the finish is needed.
