Oil Based Our range of oil based products include Gel Stains, the simple answer for staining more porous wood (e.g. pine and oak).

Gel Stain

This is the stain that has the most "finishing feel" of all our products. Woodworkers love the lustrous finish that shows up when rubbing out the 2nd and 3rd coats. Gel Stains are  formulated with a combination of pigments, oils, and urethanes to produce a durable and beautiful "hand-rubbed" finish. Gel Stains are heavy-bodied, and so do not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oilbase stains do. Because of this, they are often less affected by the condition of the wood, and can help you get a more even appearance on difficult woods such as aspen or pine.

These easy-to-use stains simply wipe on with a cloth or applied with a foam brush (no spills or splashes). Gel Stains are available in: Golden Pine, New Pine, Prairie Wheat, Colonial Maple, American Oak, Candlelite, Nutmeg, Antique Walnut, Brown Mahogany, Georgian Cherry, and Java.

The digitised colours shown are for reference purposes only. Please  test your stain on a hidden area of the wood to verify your colour.

Gel Topcoat

Gel Topcoat may be used to top coat any stain. Although Gel Stains contain urethane, Gel Topcoat has a higher content of urethane and may be used to top coat Gel Stains for more protection. 

Gel Topcoat is available in satin. For semi-gloss or gloss sheens, use Arm-R-Seal Topcoat.

Salad Bowl

Create a beautiful and safe finish on wooden bowls, cups, spoons, countertops and butcher blocks or any wood surface that contacts food. Easy to apply (just wipe on with a soft clean cloth) it achieves the sheen and durability of a varnish. Dried film is non-toxic for food contact 72 hours after drying. Additional coats can be re-applied at any time if maintenance of item becomes necessary.

Danish Oil

Danish Oil's unique blend of linseed oil and gilsonite colorant penetrates and colours wood unlike pigmented stains. Gilsonite is a mined ore, which comes only in a black walnut colour. It is different from pigments, which come from earth clays. Danish oil's best use is on oak where the walnut colours are carried deep into the grain and produce a look that pigments cannot match. The linseed oil in Danish oil dries to a durable finish and can be used as a one-can finish; more coats help build durability. However, for maximum protection Danish Oil can be top coated with Arm-R-Seal Topcoat.  

Note this range is being discontinued and stocks shown are final amounts available.

Danish Oil is available in: Natural, Light Walnut, and Cherry.

Outdoor Oil

Outdoor Oil is an exterior-rated penetrating linseed oil. It contains UV stabilizers, mildew prohibitors, and twice the oil contained in competing brands.

We highly recommend Outdoor Oil for all outdoor wood projects, particularly wood furniture. It can be used by itself, over any stain, and on pressure treated wood.

Available in clear and sienna.

Seal-A-Cell

An unusual combination of oils and urethanes, Seal-A-Cell Clear for decades has served craftsman as the best way to get the  that "natural" look on beautiful woods that aren't to be stained. The oils penetrate deep within the wood to highlight the warm natural look and the urethane insures a deep hardness. Follow with multiple coats of Arm-R-Seal topcoat. Seal-A-Cell can be wiped on or applied with a foam brush.

Arm-R-Seal

Arm-R-Seal urethane topcoats are made with only the highest quality urethane resin, making them extremely durable and long lasting. They are formulated to be wiped on with a cloth or applied with a foam brush, thus eliminating drips and sags.  They penetrate to provide deep down protection and that  " natural" look. Arm-R-Seal is  available in Satin, Semi-Gloss, and Gloss.
