Wood Oil Advantages: (Includes Drydons, WoodDX, CD50, WOCA.)

  1. Wood oil will protect your timber the best if you are looking for a natural look. Your timber will not warp, cup or split as much if it is oiled.
  2. Wood oil has a great range of colours.
  3. Wood oil will give a nice flat natural look.

Wood Oil Disadvantages:

  1. Wood oil should be seen as a protective product not a decorative product.
  2. Wood oil colour will change dramatically when exposed to the sun, that is due to the oil migrating into the wood leaving the tinting powder on the surface.
