Truther 1,579 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm using Ronseal garden furniture oil Cushty, its got waxes and resins in it, makes a good job, even for wading sticks. If i want to colour any bark off wood, sticks/catty's, i use van dyke crystals, natural stain you can alter the shade of easily. Tool station do a cheaper version of the Ronseal, seems just as good?

jok 3,036 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Should have added. I posted a long time ago about a product called Liquid Gold. Every wood surface in our house has it and in the workshop I could not be without it. Anything I turn gets treated. It's really really good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
