"The rolls-Royce of wood stains in my opinion is Saddling"

"Not quite sure what you mean by wooden saddles? I think the product being recommended could be Sadolin, again, never heard of 'saddling' but yes, if it's flaking, you can use either iron wool or sandpaper, if it's a coloured finish, bare wood may need to be treated with woodstain first, to prevent patchiness when complete"
