Hi all, I have a blanket chest I made out of pine about 25 years ago. The wood and finish has aged to a beautiful orange color, with that aged glow. However, the chest was used as a toy chest rather than a blanket chest, and the top of the lid has taken a beating over time. Dents, scratches, dings, spots where some unidentified liquid melted right through the finish, leaving several gray spots the size of a dime. Is it possible to rehab the top without destroying the patina? If so, how? I'm guessing that the wood was sealed with General Finishes seal a cell, and then finished with polyurethane of some kind. Many thanks for any advice!
