Tried & TrueOriginal Wood Finish, 8 oz. - Linseed Oil & Beeswax Blend, Ideal for All Woodwork, Long-Lasting Durability, Food Safe Sealer, Non-Toxic Wood Finish

Bought this to refinish an antique gunstock which still had traces of original varnish, plus numerous scratches, dents, and gouges. At first I was going to strip all remaining varnish off the stock and lightly sand it with 1000 grit emory paper, but then thought I'd try the product on the stock as it was...glad I did. A light coat applied with a rag and rubbed in blended perfectly with what finish remained, filled in minor scratches, and gave the stock an overall uniform finish - no darkening, mottling, streaking or other undesirable effects. Per instructions, I let it dry 24 hours and then hand buffed it out, finishing with a light coat of crystalline museum wax, itself buffed out when dry. It still looks like an antique gunstock with all the original scratches, etc, but instead of a "damaged" stock, it has a nice, semi-shiny patina very much in character with the age of the overall firearm. Excellent product, no "solventy" smell, dries in time specified, easy to buff out, and looks great. I'm definitely sold on this product for restoration work.

Easy to use. Covers well and leaves a beautiful finish to wood countertops. Water beads up and doens't leave a ring. Wish I had known about this product years ago. Mineral oil as sealer just doens't do a great job. Linseed oil alone is okay, but not great. This product has Lindseed oil and beeswax. Winning combination. Excellent product.

Great product! My wood yard items look better than new. Easy to use too.Unfortunately Amazon shipping was not good. Can was dented and leaked due to no packaging on top of the can

Tried & True Original Wood Finish is a great product, and better still, it's made in the USA. I had several cutting boards that were sorely in need of attention. Tried & True, which is safe for food and easy to use, brought them back to life.I recommend this product.

I have never done any wood finishing so I’m coming from the perspective not of a craftsman but somebody that just needed to finish a raw piece of wood, a tray in this caseI just needed it to not look and feel raw and to be a little sealed. I just took an old T-shirt, rubbed it on the wood as instructed, waited an hour and then buffed it with the same dry T-shirt, and it is an upgraded item! It looks like a professional finish and I am beyond pleased. If you actually know how to do woodwork you can go to town with this stuff I’m sure. But my lame self was able to get up there with y’all for just a brief moment and finish this piece of wood. Five amazing stars. It also has a nice smell.The application is very forgiving, if you go with the grain you don’t have to worry about streaks or anything like that. If you miss a spot you can just go back over it and then let it dry.

Got the job done!

I've used Tried and True Linseed Oil and Beeswax combination almost exclusively on my bowls. Here's what I do... I spread Tried and True all over the bowl very liberally and use gloves to further spread it over the bowl. Then leave it sit for at least 24 hours sometimes much longer letting it soak in thoroughly. Then I wipe it all off with a paper towel or whatever you want to use. Then it's done. No second coats. After a couple of weeks it is dry completely. The bowl looks like it has no finish, like natural wood. I've had no blotches and the wood is protected and food safe. I like it because it is simple, quick and easy. Other products I have used I have had to apply multiple times.

I've never used a wax/oil finish on wood before now, but I definitely will in the future! I just refinished this dresser, which was really beat up. I planned to leave the drawer fronts natural and thought I could just cover the bare wood with polyurethane. I tried this on one drawer, and the polyurethane started getting cloudy, thick, and mucky! I panicked and quickly grabbed a damp rag to wipe off the polyurethane. I had purchased Tried & True for a different project, but I thought I'd give it a try since the poly was such a disaster. The oil has the texture of thick honey, and I spread it on with a lint-free cloth. The wood seemed to just soak it up like it was thirsty! I let it set for an hour, as recommended, then wiped off the excess. The result was this absolutely gorgeous wood grain on the drawers, which feel smooth, nourished, and non-greasy. I'm totally thrilled with the result! Highly recommend!
