Turpentine on a rag, outside. Wipe it down, scrub it, whatever, to get
the old nasty stuff off (if indeed it is oil and not varnish or
shellac). You can then put on more oil (tung oil or boiled linseed oil)
or a Watco danish oil which is more like a varnish that you wipe on.
You wipe it on, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe off the excess and
let it dry. You will want to do several coats, maybe a day in between
but not a lot longer. After a coat or two you might want to hit it with
400 or 600 grit sandpaper to take out the nibs, last time put on a
thinned coat (mix in some of that turpentine), let it dry, then use some
0000 steel wool and paste wax to buff it up, let it sit a few minutes
then buff with a soft cloth. Will look awesome.
Or just give it to me.

I have a deep red Danish mid century rosewood coffee table. It has an oil
finish, which is dull in places. How do I clean it? It also has a few
water marks and cloudy patches.

Oooh dear, would insurance cover this?
Remember you left it parked in Okie city a few days ago and only just
discovered this.
That brings back memories of my boleadoras, which I only threw once.
I'd seen a National Geographic special on some savages that hunted birds
with them and made a set out of small stones and dental floss. Landed on
the back window of Mom's Rambler, and though the stones were rather small,
the spinning seemed to impart extra impact, shattered the whole window.
Since it was safety glass it was still there, but effectively the whole
window was opaque.
Dad reported it to insurance as 'kid throwing stones' and it processed as
a zero deductible comprehensive claim.
A friend of mine got together with his brother and washed their dad's new
car for a surprise. They used their mom's Brillo pads to get it good and
clean. They said it looked great when it was wet, or they wouldn't have
done every square inch of the car that way. That little act of kindness
earned them the worst butt-whipping of their lives.
Mitch.
