Tried & True Wood Finish Original , Gallon - Linseed Oil Beeswax Blend, Ideal for All work, Long-Lasting Durability, Food Safe Sealer, Non-toxic

This is my first time using this product and wow! I used it on 2 vintage items. One is a wood table very worn with some gross spots. After using this product my table is shiny gorgeous and like new. Please see pictures!! I also used it on an old clock I have and it cleaned up left over dust from other wood shine products and left this clock shiny and like new. I feel like my furniture has new life! Please also see the pictures of my clock! I will say the product comes on thick and sticky. As you work it in the wood and into the grooves it has a thin oily feel. The instructions say to wait 24 hours let everything set into the wood. I personally give it 2 days and then it's show room ready!! I definitely recommend this product!

I want to start out by saying I am not a wood worker, I am not a DIYer, and I have never finished wood before. I am a mom who needed a non-toxic finish for a bed frame and ChatGPT recommended this one! I was a little hesitant to order this after reading the one-star reviews of people saying it was sticky and wouldn’t dry etc. After actually using the stuff, I have come to the conclusion that these people are absolutely out to lunch and definitely did not ready the instructions. I used this to finish a bed frame my husband made out of your typical 2 x 4 lumber. First impressions: the smell is not bad at all, and a little goes a loooong way. I cut up an old tshirt and put a dime sized amount of Tried and True onto it and began to rub it into the wood, going with the grain. The difference this stuff makes is unreal! The wood which had been sanded with 100 grit and felt a little rough is now sooo smooth. The wood grain and details are much more pronounced and now has a nice subtle sheen. The process was quick and basically mess free. The wood does not feel wet, tacky, or even the slightest bit greasy. I can’t wait to rub the steel wool on and see how much better it gets! A message for the “experts” that rated this stuff one-star: it isn’t stain… you don’t coat the wood with it!

Excellent product and easy to apply. I used Tried & True Original Wood Finish to rejuvenate a wooden plinth from a vintage turntable. After a very light sanding and two coats of Tried and True the plinth looked fantastic. Highly recommended.

The finish this oil provides on sanded wood is excellent. It pulls the grain out nicely and provides a very protective, waterproof satin sheen. Easy to apply, and the odor is not too overpowering. When using any oil-based finish, I would apply it in a well-ventilated area. I recommend not using a lot for the initial application, as this oil spreads evenly, and coverage is good. The color is a light yellow, like honey, but dries clear. Using a soft cotton cloth, the cleanup is relatively easy. A great woodworking finish alternative to poly.

Excellent product. I am using it to finish wood bowls. It can be used on bare wood, but I seal my bowls with shellac before sanding, then apply the Tried & True. Great finish.
