Category:Finishing Oils & Waxes

You can use a variety of finishing oils and waxes, or combinations of them, to shine up and preserve the surface of a nicely planed or sanded wooden workpiece while maintaining its character.

In contrast, paints and laquers or stains will often add a non-natural touch but may last longer.

Finishing Oils

A good finishing oil should be neutral, not acidic. Examples include coconut oil and linseed oil, but not olive oil.
