Smoke Smell in Wood Cabinet

I purchased an oak dining set from my grandmother who was a smoker. It is in beautiful condition but smells very strongly of cigarette smoke. Does anyone know how to remove the odor from this wood set? Is my only option letting it sit outside, which would be difficult for me to do.

Did any of the suggestions work on the Wood Cabinet? I have an oak desk (2nd Hand) that stinks of cigarettes.
Used a whole container of Fabreeze.
Help! Karen

If you can't use the oxy crystals and vinegar on the finished part of the wood furniture, what can you use? Any other suggestions?

I washed the unfinished surfaces with Oxy crystals dissolved in hot water and rinsed immediately with strong vinegar water. Sometimes a second attempt is necessary but it really works! I would not use it on the finished surface as it could mark or ruin it

house fire

I had a house fire, and have a lot of wood chopping blocks and stuff that I am trying to keep. is there anything that would help get the smoke smell out of them. They were not burned but got smoke damage.

Archived Request: Smoke Smell in Wood Cabinet

I am trying to find a way to remove a smoke smell from my grandmother's wooden dining room furniture. It was made in 1962 and she and my grandfather smoked heavily. The wood is not coated with polyurethane so I am nervous about using harsh cleaning products. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
