Feed & Finish - Wood Conditioner - Northern Grit finishes

Feed & Finish – Premium Wood Conditioner

NOURISHES • PROTECTS • ENHANCES

Feed & Finish is a premium wood conditioning formula developed to nourish timber, enhance the natural colour and character of the grain, and leave a beautiful smooth, silky satin finish.

Carefully blended using orange oil, beeswax and carnauba wax, alongside conditioning oils, Feed & Finish penetrates into the timber while leaving behind a subtle protective finish. The combination of beeswax and carnauba wax helps provide a durable, refined satin sheen, while orange oil provides a fresh natural citrus aroma and helps the formula work into the wood.

Key Benefits

• Orange oil for a fresh, natural citrus aroma, colour and penetration.
• Beeswax helps nourish and condition the timber.
• Carnauba wax adds durability and a beautiful satin sheen.
• Enhances natural colour and grain.
• Adds warmth and depth to the wood.
• Leaves a smooth, silky feel.
• Provides everyday surface protection.
• Easy to apply and buff.
• Designed to enhance rather than heavily coat the timber.

Thixotropic Formula

Feed & Finish is intentionally thixotropic. When left standing, the waxes within the formula naturally restructure, meaning the product can become thicker after resting. This is completely normal and is part of the formulation.

• Before use, give the bottle a vigorous shake with a firm snap of the wrist to return the product to a smooth, workable consistency.
• Shake vigorously before every use.
• The product may thicken again when left standing. Simply shake again to restore its working consistency.

How To Use

1. Ensure the wood is clean, dry and free from dust.
2. Shake the bottle vigorously.
3. Apply a fair amount to a clean, lint-free cloth.
4. Work evenly into the timber.
5. Allow 15–20 minutes for the product to penetrate.
6. Remove any excess with a clean cloth.
7. Buff by hand or on the lathe using a clean buffing cloth.
8. Apply a second light coat if additional depth or sheen is required.
9. Reapply if the wood starts to appear dry over time.
