Gilboys has become my go-to finish for bowls.

I spent many hours of research and trial and error looking for the correct finish on a chestnut coffee table I’m making, I found this hard wax oil.Gilboys wasn’t a brand I was aware of until I saw this hard wax oil demonstrated on their YouTube channel. It looked perfect for my needs and after trying it I can tell you it easily surpassed my expectations. The tin arrived well packaged with a personal thank you inside with a small and thoughtful gift. This is a good indicator of the importance customer satisfaction is to this company.The hard wax oil is also a cut above other products three times the price. The application is like butter on warm toast spreading smooth and even with ease. The aroma is citrus and pleasant but I don’t recommend using any finish without adequate ventilation. I could happily apply this finish all day unlike some that drag or smear the product over the wood surface.This is a true satin and doesn’t look like a cheap gloss or a matt finish that could make the wood look flat and lifeless. The colour of the wax oil is neutral but does deepen existing tone by a shade or two which looks better to my eye. It brings out the natural grain while retaining that real wood appearance giving that high quality look without any plastic sheen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this finish or this company. They just seem to be in a different class when it comes to knowing what works perfectly with a modern high quality appearance.The YouTube tutorials are extremely informative and entertaining and I recommend you check out this product being demonstrated there as you may pick up some tips from a great furniture restorer.

Wanted an alternative to odies, this works great, however 2 coats are needed and you have to somewhat be in a dust free environment if you apply to heavy. It's very sticky, so wear gloves and be sure to properly dispose of towels as it has linseed oil. I found my first batch of boards I applied heavy and didn't take my time wiping down and they feel gritty. Since then, glass like finish applying lightly and wiping off. I think I will purchase again when I run out. I've coated around 30 boards 2 coats and used around 1/3

Easy application. Hardens to a protective, beautiful finish.
