Wood oils can be applied both directly to bare wood and timber, as well as over the top of wood stains. It is a decorative wood finish that also has protective qualities. With a pleasantly contrasting sheen over the wood grain, it brings out the natural character of the wood. Although the protective qualities are not as durable as wood varnishes, woodworkers favour its emphasis on character. Always do a test area before starting any project, to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Shake well before use. When finishing cedar wood, we recommend using linseed oil. This type of oil is the most popular with woodworkers, as well as cedar cladding users and craft enthusiasts.
