The matt finish is a popular choice for those looking to retain the natural, flat, non-reflective appearance of wood. For a soft sheen, the satin finish is perfect as it provides a slight sheen without being glossy or shiny, while the semi-gloss provides a finish that is glossy without being overly reflective like a mirror.<\/p>\n<p>Although the clear versions of this product do not contain any pigment or colouration, they will enhance the natural grain and colour of the wood as well as giving the timber a darker, damp like appearance. A good way to test this is to wipe a piece of the wood after sanding with a damp (not wet) cloth. This will give a good representation of how the wood will look when oiled. Soft woods such as pine can often look fairly colourless and pale when freshly sanded but when oiled, can turn a golden, yellow \/ orange colour. This can also be tested by using the damp cloth approach after sanding.<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to keep the wood looking natural and as close to the &#8216;sanded look&#8217; as possible, Fiddes have produced a version of their Hard Wax Oil specifically designed to achieve this called &#8216;\n<a title=\"Hard Wax Oil Natural\" href=\"\/product\/fiddes-hard-wax-oil-oak-lightening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nHard Wax Oil Natural<\/a>&#8216;. This works well on lighter coloured woods, such as Pine and Oak, but may leave a slight white film on darker species of wood.<\/p>\n<p>To stain (colour) and protect the wood, all in one process, there are nine colours in the \n<a title=\"Fiddes Hard Wax Oil Tints\" href=\"\/product\/fiddes-hard-wax-oil-tints\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nFiddes Hard Wax Oil Tints<\/a> range&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>American<\/li>\n<li>Antique<\/li>\n<li>Dark Oak<\/li>\n<li>English<\/li>\n<li>Medium Oak<\/li>\n<li>Onyx<\/li>\n<li>Walnut<\/li>\n<li>Whiskey<\/li>\n<li>White<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tinted Hard Wax Oils provide a coloured translucent finish that enable the grain of the wood to show through the colour.
