I just placed an order for the varnish oil. You guys are maybe the only retailers who ship internationally, thanks for that!

[@sweetlandsheatingcooling9039]

It’s worth the time spent. I really like all three finishes.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@vautrain]

I have been using Tried and True Original Wood finish for a couple of years to finish roasted maple guitar necks, which works great, but I was always unsure about the applications for the Danish Oil and Varnish Oil. Now I know! Thank you. I think I will pick up some Varnish Oil and try to get that sheen on more pieces.

[@joeking433]

Did the pine resin oil work better than the beeswax oil?

[@levilynch9126]

MIKE, YES HES BACK

[@MD-en3zm]

I love these finishes. These are my go to for anything turned that’s going to be used on food (e.g. bowls). Superior to mineral oil in every way.

[@TheeAntiChris]

Thank you for making this very HELPFUL video!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing the tips!

[@Narnyfied]

I use the Varnish Oil quite often and would say only the first coat is 24 hours, after that each subsequent coat is double or more

[@olivepressdesign]

Super informative. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidjfoto]

Very nice. You are a great host.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Looks intriguing, will be on my next CS order I bet!

[@acraftsmansimagination56]

Just placed an order from your website for a pen mandrel, 3x Apprentice Gold pen kits, 3x Chrome pen kits, and 3x Gun Metal pen kits. Thank you so much your website has everything! So many awesome projects! Will be ordering again in the future.

[@McBumbleFlump]

You did the danish and then the original but can you do the danish and then the varnish oil?

[@stephenashmead9597]

I tried the original on some cutting boards a couple of months ago and I am happy with the results. I had some difficulty with the application as it was not cold, but definitely cool in the shop. Will heating it up, say in a microwave or on a hot plate affects its ability to cure or penetrate while allowing for easier application?

[@J-D248]

We found Jessie Pinkman!

[@mandolinman2006]

Do you have any videos on their stains?

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

What if I just want stain? Do I need danish oil and the finish oil + the stain oil?

[@lilcurtie]

Would they be good for pens

[@DivaMellyMel]

Really nice video. Is the varnish oil food safe as well?

[@wadepatton2433]

According to the MSDS there are no solvents or driers added. Resin and Linseed are natural non-toxic substances. The polymerization is obtained by other methods than adding toxic driers.

[@austinsenior5084]

Will this stain paint?

[@donvanco3078]

So how durable is the "varnish" finish? I've used the Original on a walnut table and it's stunning, but I'd love to use a similar product on guitar tops, but it has to have some durability, particularly resistance to sweat / body oils.....

[@ohudac]

Hi Don - Owen from T&T here. We've sold both the Original Wood Finidh and the Varnish oil to instrument makers. Both are safe and suitable for use on guitars. Our products won't be as durable as a typical polyurethane finish, but maintenance is much easier. If you use the guitar heavily, I would recommend doing a light maintenance coat once a year.

[@donvanco3078]

@@ohudac Thanks Owen! The ability to tell customers exactly how (easily) they can maintain the finish is one of the attractive points of using T&T/. I will give it a go!

[@nevillewomersley7841]

Are these available in Australia - who may be the distributor?

[@rootmaze]

이거 좋음

[@ABDERRAHIM96]

Can I order it to Algeria?

[@jeneanmcmullen7782]

Can I coffe or tea stain prior to using these finishes

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Absolutely! Just make sure the stain is fully dried before putting the finish on. 😊

[@wakelywanderer12]

I like the original but haven’t experienced your statement about shelf life. I’ve stopped using it because it gums over after a few months. I’ve secured the lid well and tried bloxygen. If there’s a good way to store it please share.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

I recommend our finish bottle. I can squeeze the air out, and the nozzle makes the application a lot less messy. Here's a link to the bottle: www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/46/4036/craft-supplies-usa-Woodturners-Finish-Bottle

[@wakelywanderer12]

@@CraftSuppliesUSA just ordered 3. I always seem to order something after watching one of your videos.🤔

[@mjn55128]

I’m surprised to hear you say “it has a pleasant scent”. Mine smells like grease out of the can, and even weeks later on the finished item there is still a faint bad smell. Maybe you were thinking of Odie’s oil when you said pleasant scent 😉

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

The boiled linseed oil definitely has a "scent" to it, much better than Waterlox or poly finishes. Certainly not as pleasant as the Odie's Oil. 😊 -Mike

[@debrad5783]

What if you use this product on a piece, then decide you or someone else wants to stain a different color? Does it have to be sanded down?? Thanks

[@darylnd]

That music, though...

[@ACKSWOODPASTE]

No solvents here either!!

[@daveschiff9749]

No very pleased with this finishing system. If you are trying to have some sheen on your product this product is not very good. Think a good wax like Dr. Kirk's from Craft Supplies followed by a good high quality stabilized PU coating might give better results?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

Sorry this didn't work for you - Tried and True isn't a high-gloss finish. It's meant for those who want a more natural look that is easy to apply. There are other finishes that offer a higher sheen, and yes - PU coatings are one of them. Good luck!

[@prspastor]

I’ve had a different experience with T&T. I do get a sheen but it is not a semi-gloss or gloss. More like what you see in this video. I think the key for me was an excellent sanding job beforehand and then burnishing the piece a lot. Burnishing makes the difference. I hope you give it another try!
