Linseed oil will save Old Basket

Dear viewer,

I have a deep love for old cane baskets. Your video helped me to understand why it's a much better idea to use linseed oil rather than polyurethanes. I have one very special cane basket probably from the 50's. I bought it from a lady that it meant a lot to. A gift from her best friend when she was a child. I promised her I would cherish it. It has some pink and yellow painted cane. I am a bit concerned the linseed oil might affect the colours. But as you showed, I will use a cloth, be very gentle and try a tiny less visible place first. I hope that it works well. Thanks for your informative video 🙂👍🤞

Thank you TanCat. Linseed oil is preventing wood from drying what is crucial for cane baskets. It is much better choice than PUs. Like you said, try it on small place. I've never used linseed oil on colored surface, always on natural wood and it gets a bit darker tone as far as I can tell. Best regards!
