Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Liberon Steel Wool
Perfect for rubbing out a finish for a low-luster sheen.
Bahco 6-Inch Card Scraper
The size and thickness are what matter here. A consistent performer, this Bahco scraper is found in many shops we visit.
Zissner Seal Coat
Great as a sanding sealer, and as a final finish.
Osmo Polyx-Oil
"If I had to choose one of these hard-wax oils to keep on hand, it would be Osmo Polyx-Oil. It’s relatively affordable and very easy to apply." -Adam Godet
Tried & True Original
For the ultimate warmth, glow, and clarity, in a hard-wax oil, Adam Godet recommends Tried & True Original. To get there, however, you’ll need to buff it between coats.
