For the things I make these days there is only one go to…….. French polish. It isn’t for every project but in the last few years it has gone on almost everything I have made. Second choice for better durability is hardwax oil. The brand I use in Canada is Saicos.
In the USA I use Fiddes. The stuff is amazing but FP is still my go-to.
The early bird gets the worm but its the second mouse that gets the cheese.
