Hi /r/diyI bought a handsome mortar & pestle from Goodwill for $2.99, that I believe is made of olivewood (http://ift.tt/2zGMwAq). There are some scuffs and cracks.It’s not in perfect condition, so I want to see if I can restore it to a reasonable degree. While I admire woodworking, I’m pretty much a novice.(1) How would you recommend I repair the small cracks (fill them?), or maybe even take preventative steps to keep them from growing?(2) How should I generally restore the finish? Sanding with a variety of grit levels and applying a food-grade mineral oil? What grits would you suggest?Thanks for the help! via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2xYuD2U
