How do I protect furniture from cracking in dry climate?
If your furniture is lacquered or has some sort of protective coating on it such as shellac, that thin barrier should be enough to protect the surface of the furniture. However, if your furniture does not have a protective coating or if a hairline fracture has started, then you might want to consider a product like Watco finishing oil. It contains a resin catalyst which penetrates into the pores of wood and seals itself.
