The product is incredible so much better than similar ones used before. One coat has great coverage and perfect finish. very impressed and will only use this manufacturer in future.
Used to put new finish on an old table works well
Great luster but lets the old wood characteristics show through
Great wax oil never used it before had all my door frames ,doors ,architrave,skirting,banisters,spindles every bit of timber in two bedrooms hall stairs landing and living room and fiddes antique wax oil did the job 2.5 litre tin did the lot I stained it all before the chippy fixed it and spread well I chose bare pine and the grain really came out colour was not too light but not over dark spot on for what we where trying to achieve have lint free cloths ready and lightly rub excess of just after you brush it on perfect ?
Bought the test pot first up to try on our old floor boards. These are original to the house, around 200 years old so had various issues to cover let’s say. We went for Onyx to take down the finish to a dark shade and cover all the imperfections and previous coatings. As it worked really well, bought a bigger tin and went for it. Didn’t do a huge amount of prep other than a little sanding and a good vacuum as we were happy with a “lived in” finish. Have to say it’s worked out perfectly, a rich dark layer that looks like years of wax application, so easy to apply and dried overnight to a useable finish. Two cots applied to the lighter areas and only one where it was already a darker hue.
I like the product - the oil goes on well and leaves a lovely satin finish. I used the tinted light oak hardwax oil. I'm well aware that the final finish can be dependant on a few things, in particular wood species, but I have to say the finish on standard birch ply looks NOTHING like light oak!! It is more akin to a rosewood/light mahogany.
First time using this product and should have practised on a spare piece of wood. It’s not tricky to use but it takes longer than 4-6 hours to dry except in the very hot weather (but would then perhaps go off before the job’s finished). Probably best to wait a day or two until there’s no feeling of stickiness to the first coat before doing the second you could end up with a gooey mess. The end finish though is lovely and has made such a difference to the room. (Glass panelled door and new reeded window film to glass.)
Beware that this has much darker, red toned colour on softwood like spruce. Very nice effect but definitely recommend sampling first
Definitely test on softwood first as colour was notably different to online example (as they state)
Gives much lighter and yellow tone on softwood, recommend testing first, but great finish
Bought this to make some scaffold board shelves. The second coat just makes them look so professional, I highly recommend especially in this colour.
The oil left a great finish and a good product to work with would definitely recommend and use again.
Lovely product, very easy to use and the results are amazing.
Very pleased with this product. Love the colour and the finish on wood. Happy with the customer service overall. Would recommend.
Easy product to use and excellent results. Always experiment first and follow the instructions
Brought this product for a small homemade bar and the finish was brilliant
Excellent prompt service. Very helpful on the phone and a wide range of products.
I was advised to use this product by a Wood Finishes specialist and it really did the trick!
This is a must to check you're like the colour before doing the whole floor!
We used this as a base coat to stain new pine floorboards. The colour is a warm, truly natural hue. Top coated with clear matt for a superb finish. Highly recommended.
Easy to apply, two coats on bare wood, looks durable as well. Colour was as expected.
Top quality product, a little goes a long way. Used about half a can on a staircase treads, spindles and handrails. Can't believe how good the staircase looks, amazing finish
Bought as a tester, not my shade but good quality product
Perfect shade of tint for my project, we then purchased a 1l can to use on our new staircase, it looks stunning. Vert good product, a little goes a long way
Haven’t used hard wax before. Definitely do a trial sample with the small pouches available. Mine was white finish and I chose this over Osma as for me the white was a deeper cover. Very easy to apply, but definitely follow the instructions and very helpful videos on WFD website. Don’t skip the wipe off stage with lint free cloth as I mistakenly did to begin with! For me (capable DIY’er) it did take a couple of go’s to get the technique. Oil/solvent smell does take quite a few days to go, so try to leave to cure where it won’t bother you. Overall very pleased with the product.
I ordered a sample and it seemed fine. I ordered a large tin and on the second coat it looked like I'd painted the worktop in dark brown gloss so it all had to be removed!
You'll see this is the same review as another I did for a tint in this range - does the same job and tested the same way. I've been looking for a consistent, high quality, easily applied finish, and this looks like itI I've used the product on rustic finished Console tables and am impressed with the colour coverage and water resistance - did some spill tests and the water beaded and was easily removed. I didn't follow the instructions exactly as I didn't want a well sanded finish, and found the first coat easier to apply with a lint free cloth to rub across the surface, get into the grain, and spread it evenly, then wipe off the residue. 2nd coat very easy to apply. I've since bought the clear matt version so I can use one tint coat (or water based stain) then apply the clear, to get a light colour, and protected finish. Looking forward to trying it on highly finished surfaces, but am pretty confident from what I've seen it will do the business. I've used e.g. teak oil, danish oil, worktop oil, chopping board oils, stains, beeswax finishes applied with 00 wire wool etc, but for internal furniture, I think this could be come my go-to.

Just to say, this worked well for me for giving a 'limed' finish, and a light look to the wood - with the grain visible. I know it's obvious but this does not give a white paint finish - suggest using white paint if that's what you need! :-) I didn't follow the instructions exactly as I didn't want a well sanded finish, and found the first coat easier to apply with a lint free cloth to rub across the surface, get into the grain, and spread it evenly, then wipe off the residue. 2nd coat very easy to apply.

After advise from the team it was Put on oak flooring to neutralise the honey colour that natural varnishes were giving. Worked perfect. Easy to put on. Very happy.
Ensure you follow instructions ie sanding wood first before applying first coat. Needs two coats to get the best finish. Very pleased used it for worktops and it looks great.
The service and product excellent . Great to have a such a good product manufactured in the UK.Easy to apply, gives a white matt tint to the wood . Love it.
