Very pleased with this easy to use product. Great finish and water based too. Couldn’t be better.
This product has been protecting our oak door for around 8yrs now, this is its first recoating in all that time. Mainly to restore its shine rather than needing weather proofing. All our oak floors are also finished in Fiddes Hard Wax Oil. I would always choose this product.
The benchmark had gone grey with sun and rain damage, because it had been painted with yachts varnished. Total rub down and painted three coats of wood oil as per tin instructions. Fantastic finish, for bench.
Bought this for the external wood of our extension, which has oak bifold doors and windows. It's been 15 years since they were put in, so were looking pretty grey and ropey in places, especially along the bottoms. Used a sander to get most of it back to bare wood and applied 3 coats as recommended - looks great now. Remains to be seen for how long...
Never sure how good a new product to me will be but having now used I’m very happy with the result & would have no hesitation using on other wood surfaces.
Decided I wanted to try this as was recommended by a work colleague who uses it on his sheds. So bought a smaller tin of this and applied it to of all things, skirting boards. Skirting boards I hear you say, yeah! Why not, they are oak and although go inside the house, they still look good. I don’t suppose they will get wet (unless the radiator starts leaking, but who cares, I’m happy with the results, although to a while to dry (4-6 hours on the tin) or prefably overnight, but I wasn’t in a rush.
Easy to apply. Excellent coverage. Very pleased with the result.
Easy to apply and very effective. After a couple of weeks it has a strong glossy finish on previously oiled timber. It is however rather expensive.
Time will tell, but our row of garage doors (Douglas fir) are finally looking good. And that’s pleasing after years of struggling with other (very popular) oil finishes that haven’t lasted at all! I’m hoping that we’ve found a finish that I can recommend.
Used on a number of occasions and happy with it every time, hard wearing and long lasting
I used this on my oak front door and it really brought out the grain and quality of the wood. Very easy to put on, not at all sticky or 'cloggy'. Worth the money and I would definitely buy it again.
It worked like a dream and did an excellent job on my wooden garden furniture Will purchase again when needed
Only time and weather will tell if this product lives up to expectations, but on initial use it seems a good product.
Easy to use. Covers well and leaves a good surface which is easily wipeable.
Great product well packed and delivered on time.
One tin does not do the coverage stated or the amount of layers recommended and it is expensive, I would need 3 tins to get the right finish. @£60 a tin
Hello Trish, Thank you for this feedback. Coverage of this product can depend on the type, age and condition of the wood you are applying to. Sometimes two coats are sufficient, if applied to a hard wood, or a new wood that absorbs little oil. And three coats for softer woods or woods that have aged and dried and will soak up more oil. Test areas are the key to getting the right amount, not enough and the oil will not protect well, too much and the oil that dries on top of the wood will mark easily. We have a great team of advisers who are always happy to help over the phone or by email.
Used on refurbished wooden driveway gates. 3 Coates. Fabulous finish. Sheds water. Obviously early days so just 4 stars. Hoping will require simple clean and recoiling each year.
Might be a little expensive but you are getting a first class product that won’t fade due to the UV properties. Will only use this on my shed, which now has its third coat.
Used it on a bench and table outside water runs off with no blackening of the wood gave a good seal.
Sightly disappointing to see heavy fading within 12 months where the sun has bleached, despite 3 coats.
Is a little expensive but you get what you pay for. Top quality, easy to apply and a good finish. Used it instead of painting my new shed, put on two coats ,will probably put a third one on later this year, Has rained a lot already and the shed still.looks great. Hope shed will will stay like this for many years.
This is the highest quality of this type of product I’ve worked with, would certainly use again. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Also, the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, giving good technical advice on this and comparable products.
We live in a house with lots of exposed woodwork including a new oak door and wood window cills. Exterior oil, applied each year, has been brilliant in preserving and rejuvenating the wood.
Excellent advice from staff and satisfied with product.
I needed a better solution to the regular maintenance of my exterior Idigbo windows from Danish oil. Wood finishes direct excellent help line suggested this product and I am delighted with the results . Easy to apply a good strong finish with rain just running off . To date after 6 months of rain and fierce sun the finish has not dimmed. Will be using this product from now on.
Even the guys who made my gates say it is the best stuff they have ever used.
Once you've got the wood really prepped, you can put this on like emulsion and still get a great result. Better still, it's durable in a way that varnish never can be, because it get into the wood and hardens catalytically. I use Danish oil as a guitar finish and often use 12 coats. The fact you can do a garage door with three costs is impressive. Next stop, front door...
This is a great product, feeds & protects wood, giving a beautiful finish. Works on any type of wood, especially hard wearing on exterior oak beams.
Using in a marine environment (for which it is not recommended) and will see how it stands up. Hoping its ease of application and looks will mean just annual maintenance making it preferable to a marine varnish. Will be exposed to UV and saltwater. We shall see. Application was a delight.
Purchased this to treat new hard wood gates, wow what a great result! Easy to apply and after the initial coat they looked stunning, once the second coat was on they looked even better. Yes I would recommend yes I will buy again yes this is a great product.
The hardwood sills on our French windows had been neglected for many years and looked decidedly tatty. A light sanding and two coats of the Wood Oil and they now look very good - rain just runs off as well.
Needs good preparation of the wood to be painted and at least 3 coats, but leaves a smooth shiny weatherproof finish.
