My family room has solid redwood paneling. It's 16" wide x 3/4" thick and it's been showing it's age for some time. I would like to restore this paneling as best as I can. As you can see in my photos below, it's looking faded.
In the past, I've oiled with orange glow but I was thinking that to get it right, it needs to be deep cleaned and something like teak oil applied. I've also thought about light sanding but I'm worried that that would make it too smooth and ruin it's texture.
Any advice would be appreciated.
