I'm looking for some easy DIY solutions or common household items that I can use to polish wood. What suggestions do you have for achieving a nice shine or finish?

Polishing can mean a few different things! Are you looking to get a shiny finish or just a smooth surface? If you're going for shine, using paste wax on your wood with a brush can really bring it out. Just make sure to sand it to a fine grit first for the best results!
Banana peels are actually a great option! They can add shine and are super easy to find at home. Just rub the inside of the peel on the wood and you’ll see a nice shine. Also, check out Howard's Feed-N-Wax or Minwax finishing wax for some great ready-made options.
I’ve heard about banana peels, but I never tried it! Might give it a shot now!
Exactly! And if you want that glossy finish, consider a clear coat on top afterward for extra shine.
