Chestnut Finishes,
All of the turned goods produced in The Turner's Workshop are finished using finishes by Chestnut Products. It makes sense then, that these excellent finishes are available to buy from The Turner's Workshop. At this time I stock only the finishes used in the workshop but the full range is available to order if requested. All Chestnut finishes are supplied in 500ml cans unless otherwise stated.
Finishing Oil - £7.50
This excellent Oil is the finish used on all Bowls made in The Turner's Workshop. The Oil soaks into the wood, feeding, nourishing and protecting the timber from inside and because it is not a surface finish, it can't be scratched or chipped like a varnish. I use 3 coats and finish with WoodWax 22 to get a beautiful rich glow. All applied with a NyWeb Pad to work the finishes into the wood and gently smooth the surface.
WoodWax 22 (Clear) - £6.10
Best applied with a NyWeb Pad, (I keep a small piece in the tin at all times) and is the perfect finishing touch to Finishing Oil and Melamine Lacquer. (450ml Container)
Melamine Lacquer - £8.50
The best finish to achieve a quick and easy but hard wearing gloss finish on small items such as Fruit and Pens. I use thinned slightly with Cellulose Thinners and applied with a piece of paper towel. I use 2 coats, rubbed down in-between with a NyWeb Pad and finished with WoodWax 22, again applied with a NyWeb Pad.
Cellulose Sanding Sealer - £8.00
A great base for sealing timber before applying finishes such as Lacquer or Paint. Can also be used as a finish in its own right or with Wax, leaving a slightly more Matt surface than Melamine Lacquer. Best applied as for Melamine Lacquer.
Food Safe Finish - £8.00
Used on all items designed to come into contact with food such as Chopping Boards and Spatulas. 2 or 3 coats liberally applied and wiped of with a clean cloth leaves a protective finish for your Kitchenware.
Cellulose Thinners - £5.60
Used to thin Melamine Lacquer and Sanding Sealer. (I find up to 30% thinners is best) A pure Cellulose product without any recycled materials or harmful petroleum solvents such as Toluene or Xylene.
Ebonising Lacquer - £5.75
A simple to use Aerosol Lacquer which gives a beautiful Black finish for feature areas on turned items such as Bowls. Quick drying Acrylic based Lacquer is hard wearing and suitable for most timbers. (400ml Aerosol)
NyWeb Pads - 95p each or £8.50 for 10
A very fine abrasive pad and an excellent (and safer) alternative to 0000 Steel Wool. Excellent for applying Finishing Oil and WoodWax 22. Very flexible and can be easily cut down, washed out and re-used.
Vinyl Gloves - £1.25 for 10
Vinyl Gloves protect the hands when applying finishes.
