Features

  • Tried & True Varnish Oil is an all-purpose, 100% natural and food safe non-film forming varnish formulated using an 1800s Shaker recipe. The formula is just two ingredients: natural pine resin and linseed oil.
  • Made from 100% Renewable, natural, food & skin contact safe ingredients. Just linseed oil & pine resin. No need for PPE or ventilation while using. Petrochemical Free, Heavy Metal Free.
  • Pine resin hardens greatly as it ages, making this the most scratch resistant Tried & True product & it can be buffed to a higher sheen once the linseed oil has cured. Can be applied over penetrating oil-based stains, other natural oil finishes, milk paint.
  • Perfect finish for cabinetry, flooring, tool handles, wooden doors and trim, chairs/benches, gun stocks, jewelry boxes, banisters, railings, or any other project where safety and scratch resistance are paramount.
  • Tried & True products have infinite repairability and will last longer than a lifetime when properly maintained. No yellow plastic flakes as they age! These are 100% solids (no fillers, no solvents) so a little bit goes a very long way.

Description

Tried & True was first conceived around 1990 when a master cabinet maker in upstate New York became concerned over the amount of toxins that he was exposed to on a daily basis and thought, "How did people create pieces that last hundreds of years in a time when todays solvents and chemicals were unknown?" This question led to years of research centered around Shaker and early American woodworking and finishing, resulting in a line of products based on natural linseed (flax) oil and additives (beeswax, pine resin) that would have been available on an early American frontier with no modern processing. Every Tried & True product is made from 100% renewable ingredients and free from all solvents, has 0 VOCs, no synthetic compounds, no toxic heavy metal drying agents or anything else that could be harmful to humans, pets or planet.

    • Beautiful, natural finish
Material Type: Other Size: Quart
Review Image by Todd W. Todd W.
I was looking for a finish for a custom desk I was building. I wanted something that provided a rich finish but still felt natural. After researching a bit and trying a few options, I selected the Tried & True Varnish Oil. This is essentially a boiled linseed oil with a small amount of varnish solids included. This worked perfectly to bring out the beautiful grain of the mesquite and beli I used to build the desk as well as include a small amount of protective solids. Application was easy. I started by thoroughly sanding the project down to remove any visible marks and scratches then I simply wiped it on using a blue shop rag. I put it on thin, let it set for 30 min, then wiped it all down with a fresh rag. I ended up with 5 coats and the depth on this is beautiful not to mention it smells fantastic. I have read some people have issues with curing on this, but I didn't have any such problems. Of course, I applied it on my back patio during a Phoenix summer so that may have helped, but after 24 hours I wasn't able to wipe off any additional finish. After letting it cure for another couple of days, I put a thin coat of wax over everything to help with the protection. I was most worried about the way the finish would interact with the epoxy in the center of the desk, but it went on easily and polished well. Overall it was the perfect finish for my desk and I have enough to make several more which is a good thing because I have family begging me to make them desks of their own. ... show more

    • Nice finish.

I like the looks of the finish and it brings out the grain nicely. It does take a bit of elbow grease but it's worth the effort.

    • High quality product for high quality results

The natural product goes on smoothly and produces good protection that is food safe. The amount of product needed for coverage is much less than expected. The related YT videos help with the application.

    • Excellent product with one qualification
Material Type: Other Size: Quart
This varnish oil is wonderful: goes on easily, doesn't smell, and is non-toxic. The color enhancement on my African padouk dining room table project was incredible; the color went from a washed out pale red to a dark red vivid glowing satin miracle. Only one caveat for anyone contemplating using this: DO NOT use it on open-pored wood (oak, padouk, etc) tabletops! In my case, I should have used a pore-sealing technique (there are many, e.g. sanding with a shellac/sawdust slurry, diluted shellac, etc., experimentation on your wood may be required) on the padouk tabletop before applying the Tried & True Varnish oil. The varnish sits in the pore-tubes and does not cure, so it will be picked up by fibrous cloth or paper lying on the tabletop, for months afterwards. I plan to let it cure a little longer, and then apply a high-quality paste wax to the tabletop in order to close up the pores. I am assuming that my problem was caused by the open-pores, but some of the curing difficulty may have been that some dense tropical hardwoods have oils or other constituents that retard normal curing of varnishes. Everywhere else on the table the stuff was used with no problems and was very fine. I also used it on an old laminated cutting board and it cured in about a day, and makes a wonderful varnish for this application. ... show more

    • Enjoyable To Use Finish
Material Type: Other Size: Pint
This finish is enjoyable to use, which is absolutely not something I can say about other finishes. The fact that it's just linseed oil and pine sap makes me comfortable working without gloves and without a respirator, and cleanup is easy -- I weight the used cloth with a rock and leave it on the floor of my garage until it hardens. The finish seems good quality and looks great, and I expect this container will last me forever--the coverage is crazy. ... show more
