The Secret is Tung Oil

 

In our effort to better serve our customers, we recommend using Waterlox Original Sealer / Finish. Waterlox Original  is a clear, medium gloss sealer and finish coat which penetrates wood, enabling it to totally resist moisture, dirt, common household acids, alcoholic beverages, heat and cold.  It is recommended for all interior wood surfaces.  When used as a sealer and finish coat combined, Waterlox Original yields a "hand-rubbed" appearance.

 

Since Waterlox Original retains a certain amount of elasticity almost indefinitely, it will not cloud or become brittle.  Scratches are easily repaired without refinishing the entire surface.

 

Made from specially­ processed Tung Oil, Waterlox Original is a natural formula so application possibilities are endless.

 

Tung Oil, pressed from the nut of the Tung tree, was used to waterproof Chinese ships as long ago as the fourteenth century. This thin transparent oil penetrates deep into the wood pores, forming an almost permanent seal against moisture because it never loses its elasticity.

 

Waterlox Original also comes in a "high gloss finish" which yields a clear, high reflective finish coat. It is recommended for all interior surfaces that desire a shiny, glass-like appearance. "Waterlox Original High Gloss" forms a permanent, deep bond with the wood. It maintains a lustrous, high gloss even under the most stressful circumstances. It is the most durable of all wood finishes.
