Wood doesn't need conditioning, period. Wood is dead plant material and
a bit of water. What's to condition? My first wife's grandmohter used
to lay on a very light coat of 3M oil about once a year. Other than
being sticky, it didn't seem to do any harm, but it sure didn't help.
Neither do these other concoctions, though they may provide some
protection from light water spills for some types of finish.

Real guy... Greg Hohensee, of G. A. Hohensee Fine Furniture, Haines Falls,
NY (near Hunter Mtn Ski Area). He's kind of local to me and has been
featured in some local print media. I haven't seen his work in person but
what I've seen in print looked interesting. He lists his products as custom
high-end furniture and custom high-end case work.
