Chestnut Products Finishes

Chestnut Products is one of the UK's most trusted names in wood finishing, designed specifically with woodturners and craftspeople in mind. Their range covers everything from first sealer coats through to final high-gloss topcoats, giving you a complete finishing system whatever your project.

The Range

• Friction Polish — A fast-drying, high-gloss finish applied on the lathe. Perfect for pen blanks and small decorative turnings where a quick, brilliant shine is needed.
• Cellulose Sanding Sealer — Raises and seals the grain before finishing, making sanding easier and improving the final coat adhesion.
• Finishing Oil — A penetrating oil finish that enhances the natural colour and grain of the wood. Food-safe when cured, ideal for bowls and utensils.
• Hard Wax Oil — Combines the protection of a hard wax with the penetrating qualities of an oil. Durable and easy to apply.
• Microcrystalline Wax — A fine finishing wax for buffing to a soft, natural sheen. Excellent as a final coat over other finishes.
• Acrylic Lacquer — A water-based, clear lacquer offering excellent clarity and durability. Available in gloss, satin, and matt sheens.
• Ebonising Lacquer — A deep, jet-black finish for dramatic effect on turned pieces and decorative work.
• Rainbow Wax — Metallic wax creams for adding decorative highlights and accents to carved or turned details.
