I’m hoping someone can help me. I have found a beautiful antique cedar dining table for very cheap but want to check something before I purchase it.
It is overall in great condition except for a long fine crack across the top that follows the grain. I’ve been researching filling the gap but everything mentions finishing with varnish or paint. I want a table finished with wax or oil. I know most people prefer varnish because it is hard wearing but my home is filled with timber furniture finished with wax or oil and I love the character as it ages and shows wear. My question is, can I fill a crack and then apply wax or oil, or will this not work?
