Our Original Wood Finish is commonly used by woodworking professionals and DIYers alike. It's perfect for application on fresh wood for a natural look, or as a sealer over oil-based stains. It has a soft-matte sheen with excellent grain enhancement. As simple to apply as danish oil or tung oil for wood, but with superior results. Apply just enough to cause a dry to wet color shift across the entire piece with a lint-free cloth. Allow the finish to penetrate the wood for 30-60 minutes, then buff it dry with a clean cloth. Allow the piece to cure for a minimum of 24 hours, then burnish with 0000 steel wool. Additional coats will deepen the sheen and increase protection. For those seeking a food-safe, natural wood finish you can trust in Tried and True Original Wood Finish. Every Tried & True product is made from 100% renewable ingredients, solvent-free and 0 VOCs. We never use petrochemicals or synthetic compounds in our products and no heavy metal drying aids or anything else that could be harmful to humans, pets, or planet. " Review: 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. Review: 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! ## Features - SUPERIOR BLEND OF LINSEED OIL & BEESWAX: Tried and True wood finish is a superior blend of linseed oil and beeswax. This time-tested combination of oil and wax provides a warm soft appearance and adds protection against water, liquids and daily use. - EFFICIENT CURING: This linseed oil for wood is polymerized for fast curing without the use of toxic drying aids found in boiled linseed products. No solvents means a little bit goes a long way. Safe to apply indoors with no PPE. - LONG-LASTING DURABILITY: Tried & True’s original oil finish provides long-lasting durability and the ability to touch-up or repair the finish without needing to strip or sand the wood. This makes a potential heirloom to pass down for generations. - SAFE & NON-TOXIC: This wood finish is ideal for many projects including food contact applications like cutting boards, knife handles, butcher block and wood cabinetry. It is also safe as a wooden toy finish and pet items. - EASY APPLICATION: Sand the piece up to at least 320, wipe it on, buff it dry, wait a day, burnish with 4/0 steel or synthetic wool, repeat as desired. See videos and product label for in-depth application instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09X22RC6N | | ASIN | B09X22RC6N | | Additional Features | Low Odor, Moisture Resistant, Non Toxic, Quick Drying, Stain Resistant | | Base Material | oil and wax-based | | Best Sellers Rank | #59,929 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #98 in Household Wood Stains | | Brand Name | Tried & True | | Coating Description | Natural linseed oil and beeswax finish, suitable for food-contact surfaces, safe non-toxic, ideal wood metal | | Color | Natural Wood Tone | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Container Type | Bottle | | Coverage | High coverage | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,090) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,090) | | Date First Available | 8 December 2022 | | Finish Types | Matte | | Item Dimensions | 5.8 x 5.8 x 14 centimeters | | Item Weight | 8 Ounces | | Item model number | Original | | Liquid Volume | 8 | | Manufacturer | Tried & True | | Manufacturer | Tried & True | | Material Type | Natural polymerized linseed oil and filtered beeswax | | Model Name | Original | | Model Number | Original | | Opacity | 0.2 inches | | Paint Type | Oil | | Product Dimensions | 5.84 x 5.84 x 13.97 cm; 226.8 g | | Size | 8oz | | Surface Recommendation | Wood, Metal | | UPC | 757602911066 | | Unit Count | 8.0 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tried & True - **Colour:** Natural Wood Tone - **Material:** Natural polymerized linseed oil and filtered beeswax - **Model name:** Original - **Surface recommendation:** Wood, Metal ## Images ![Tried & True Original Wood Finish – 8oz.

Fakespot.com gives items reviews an "F"!** A: Yes. It’s been a stand by in the woodworking community for a long time. The negative reviews are from people that don’t understand the differences in types of wood finishes and expect this product to do things it can’t. If you are looking for an based wipeon type finish that has wax and oil in one product, this is exactly what you want and does it well. If you want your wood to look shiny like you coated it in polyurethane then it I’ll fail at that because it’s not polyurethane. **Q: can you apply this over chalk paint, I have a project that will be part natural wood and the other part painted. Can I apply it over all to seal?** A: I have done over milk paint and it worked well. Some of the paint dissolved, but that was the look I wanted. **Q: Does anyone know what the closest color would be to Minwax Puritan Pine?** A: Hi Laura, this product really doesn't add any color to the wood. It will show the woods true color. **Q: Would this work well on an externnal deck handrail made of cumeru?** A: It depends on how often you want to reapply and your goal for a finish. I used it on my floors and love it but if you're looking for one application durability, an external use is probably not the best for this product. If, however, you're fine with a periodic reapplication then this will work for you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***Z on 28 August 2025* The finish this oil provides on sanded wood is excellent.
