Wood Finishing – Milk Paint, Oil, Wax and Glue

Subcategories

Milk Paint

Milk paint, also known as casein paint, from Real Milk Paint and Sweet Pickings Milk Paint (OFMP). You will find nearly 90 colours in packs from sample to gallon. The paint comes as a powder that you mix with water, and it gives a matt, natural finish.
Oil

Oils and other wood finishes: furniture oil, Danish oil, pure tung oil, hemp seed oil and cutting board oil, plus sanding sealer and lacquer. Brands such as Walrus Oil, Hampshire Sheen, Real Milk Paint and Selder & Company, for furniture, turned work and kitchen utensils.
Wax

Wax for protecting wood and giving it lustre: furniture wax from Briwax, Samson Kamnik, Hampshire Sheen, Real Milk Paint and Walrus Oil, clear and in brown tones, plus the Swedish book on wax recipes for furniture and conservation.
Lacquer

Lacquers for wood, including clear spray lacquer from Hampshire Sheen in high gloss and matt. Gives a hard, protective finish on turned work, boxes and small furniture, and dries quickly between coats.
Pigment Powders

Pigment powders from Real Milk Paint – pure pigment without binders, mainly iron oxides and earth colours. Mix into pure tung oil, concrete, plaster or other media to colour them. Each jar holds 16 oz (450 g) of powder; the volume varies between colours because pigment densities differ.
Brushes

Pure natural-bristle brushes for milk paint, linseed oil paint, oils and other finishes. Natural bristles hold paint well and give an even finish, but need a little care to last. Advice on oiling, cleaning and storage is further down the page.
Sandpaper

Sandpaper and abrasives for wood: sanding discs and mesh for random orbit sanders, sanding pads for hand sanding, and sanding blocks and bow sanders from Veritas. From coarse grits for shaping to fine grits before finishing, from Klingspor, Trend and Veritas.
Glue and Accessories

Glue and gluing accessories for woodworking. You will find FastCap glue bottles, GlüBot and BabeBot, with caps and tips for different jobs, as well as gluing accessories from Veritas and Crucible. The right bottle and tip make it easier to lay an even bead of glue without mess.
