Blogging this wicker restoration for some reason

My mom got ^this cool basket off ebay! She's very dingy (the basket not the mother) on the inside + handle tho:

So 1st step was a wash.

Filled the sink with maybe a quart/liter of warm water + 1tsp/5ml of Dawn dish soap (chosen for its oil-cutting abilities) + 1/2tsp/2.5ml of Dawn Powerwash (meant for burnt pans but I find it's a fast-acting general grime remover, while still gentle, given it's intended for use on teflon cookware without damaging it.)

After a gentle scrub with a horse hair laundry brush (they're softer), this was the result:

(Her base is thin oak planks; to be safe re: warping, I immediately blow-dried her, with an actual hair dryer & not a heat gun, bc I was also worried abt loosening any glues)

So. Better, but now we can see we're dealing with a worn finish (note the sheen/color vibrancy difference between the 2nd and 3rd pic) on the inside and handle.

Sometimes a wax buffing is enough to get vibrancy back in wood (& I'm fairly certain she's entirely wood, & not another plant fibre wicker with a wood base/handle), and that's what I was hoping to get away with,

But!

As I handled this thing, the wicker was so old + brittle that twig ends were breaking off. So to extend her life (& be able to actually put shit in it), I'm just refinishing the inside.

Hoping this will a) revive the wood coloration, obvs, but also b) that the varnish will soak into the very thirsty wood & give it some strength.

Varnish updates tomorrow!
