Does it shine yet?

I inherited some oak furniture when Uncle died. Originally it stayed in his flat but the current tenant didn't want it so we brought it home. It's lovely - and probably was expensive - but it had lost its shine. It looked quite dull. I realised it would never have the gleam of my other furniture because that is, I assume, lacquered or something, but it did look sad. So I decided to have a go.

First attempt at cleaning with vinegar and water.

If you look at the patch on the bottom right corner in the picture, that's the bit I've scrubbed. It's difficult to show in a photo but it was having an effect.

In this one if you look carefully you can see the difference. Top third untreated, middle third scrubbed with vinegar, bottom third cleaned with vinegar and olive oil.

And the finished product. Of course I keep going back and polishing it a bit more. I could get quite precious about this table.

I am feeling rather pleased with my morning's work.
