Cut ‘n’ Polish is a soft wax holding fine abrasive in suspension. Use your normal abrasives down to 240 grit then apply a liberal coat on the piece, start the lathe, and using a soft cloth, buff it to a shine.
 

It works because the abrasive powder breaks down to finer and finer particles as pressure is applied. Can be used before or after sealing and can be overcoated with friction polish or wax for a higher shine.

Chestnut Acrylic Lacquer 500ml

If you need to get away from the smell and flammability of our cellulose based lacquers this is an ideal option.
This water based lacquer has virtually no smell and is totally non-flammable. Don’t be fooled though, this product is extremely hard wearing and gives a full gloss finish.

Being water based it is slightly slower drying, taking about twenty minutes to be touch dry. If you want to apply a second coat it should be left two hours before doing so, although...

Chestnut Acrylic Sanding Sealer 500ml

A Sanding Sealer does many things.
It seals the open pores of the timber, meaning you use less of the top coat. And that’s not only good for your pocket; using less means a thinner film, which is less likely to get damaged.
It also smooths out minor irregularities in the surface, to give a better foundation for finishing.
And it binds together the loose, fibrous material that you can’t see but is lurking on the surface to make your finish weaker.
Once...

Chestnut Spirit Thinners 500ml

This clear, slower drying solvent is primarily for thinning our Spirit Stain to give delicate wash effects without affecting the colour (as methylated spirit would).

It can also be used to dilute Friction Polish or French Polish if needed (usually only when the cap has been left off and the product has thickened up).
It’s also suitable for use in making french polish if you want to dissolve shellac flakes in it.

Chestnut End Sealer 1Ltr

End Seal is an emulsified paraffin wax used to the seal the ends of freshly cut timber to slow down the drying process and reduce the risk of the timber splitting.
It can also be used on work-in-progress that is being left unfinished where there is a risk of the timber splitting.

Apply it liberally, normally by brush but it can be sprayed if needed, usually to the smallest surface of the timber which will normally be the end grain where moisture is most likely to escape...

Ebonising Lacquer is a tough, hard-wearing water-based lacquer. It is heavily pigmented so that when it is dry it emulates the classic satin look of ebony.

Usually applied over a sanding sealer (either Cellulose Sanding Sealer or Acrylic Sanding Sealer aerosol) it is touch dry in about five minutes and hard dry after twenty minutes.

Although heavily pigmented it is not paint and will still allow the grain of the timber to show through, rather than obliterating it completely.

In need of a hard wearing, natural, solvent and additive free finish? You’ve come to the right page.

Tung Oil, or Chinese Wood Oil as it’s sometimes called, is a natural oil derived from the seed of the nut of the tung tree. The jury is out as to whether it can spark a nut allergy.

Tung Oil air dries to form a tough, hard film that has a fairly strong amber tint. Because it doesn’t have any solvent or driers in it it can take a while to dry, and dependant on conditions this can be up...

If you’re looking for a finish that won’t change the colour of your timber, won’t overpower the natural beauty of the wood with a high gloss but will still protect the timber and smell nice, well, you’re in the right place!

Based on lemongrass oil, Lemon Oil is a clear, low build finish. By that we mean that it’s a very thin liquid with a very low solids content, so no matter how much you apply it’s not going to build up to a discernible visible film on the surface. Instead it soaks...
