Description
Hampshire Sheen’s Citrus Burnishing Oil leaves a silky smooth, fresh smelling food and toy safe (BS EN 71-3:2019) satin finish on your turned pieces.
This oil can be easily applied and then burnished dry in a matter of minutes, and can be overcoated with waxes or lacquers if you wish.
Use multiple coats for a water and oil resistant finish suitable for salad, fruit and snack bowls whilst barely yellowing or changing the natural colour of the wood.
Hampshire Sheen Citrus Burnishing Oil will make wood figuring and colours ‘pop’ with just one coat and leave a silky smooth satin finish on the wood surface after 2 or more applications.
~ Basic Application
- Shake before use.
- Sand your work down. We recommend
sanding to at least 400, 600 or a higher grit. - Apply the oil using a paper towel and allow
to penetrate the wood for a minute or two; - Remove excess oil from surface;
- With the lathe spinning safely fast, use a
paper towel to burnish the oil dry; - Recoat as required.
- May be overcoated with wax or lacquer when
properly cured. - Use within 12 months of purchase for best
results.
~ Uses
Ideal for use on items requiring a satin finish. Also suitable for fruit and salad bowls.

Great to work with, produces a fabulous finish and being food safe is huge for me. I will probably only use this for bowls from now on.
