Oil and Wax Oak

Oak is finished with oil and wax. This method of wood finishing was commonly used before the 20th century. Its characteristics are quite different from the varnish used on most of our wood samples. It is available only in a clear finish (no colored stains available), it is not as smooth to the touch, and it requires reapplication of oil and wax every few years to maintain the finish. The benefit of this finish is that it has a unique appearance (it has very little shine or lustre), and is easier to touch up and repair.
