I am not sure about that. I think that any thing smeared on to wood with some moisture in it is going to make the wood look good for a little bit, but I don’t think that it will last.

She says at the beginning that olive oil was used on the center portion. Olive oil can go rancid. Bad idea.
Overall, this just seems to be a bad idea, the little oil that is in a banana will also go rancid. You are setting yourself up for causing more harm than good with this nonsense.

Maybe it would work better if she used it on a table made of monkeypod?

Although interestingly banana oil (not the fruit, of course) was used in fabric covered airplane manufacture and now model airplanes as it’s a compound in dope (the liquid, not as in drugs) and it also is used as a solvent for some varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquers. (According to the sum of all knowledge, aka Wikipedia)

In the Navy I used banana oil to test fit respirators because it’s got a readily identified smell (um..smells like bananas) and, during inspections, if I soaked a small piece of gauze in the oil then stuffed it up in a ventilation duct the compartment had a ‘clean’ smell. If it smells clean it must be clean!

-- Mistake? No, that's just an unexpected design opportunity....

You used banana oil to help test fit respirators? We just plugged ‘em up and waited for the victim, er fittee to start gasping.
