This furniture polish is easy to make. You'll need turpentine, boiled linseed oil and lemon juice (or vinegar).
Ingredients

Dip the cloth in the furniture polish and apply to your furniture. Let sit for 30 minutes and then polish with a soft, clean cloth. Pretest mixture on an inconspicuous part of your furniture if you have not used this polish before. If you have a big job you can make a bigger batch but don't make more than you need, this mixture doesn't store well.
