ORGANOIL by Prep Productions

Organoil Danish oil by PREP PRODUCTIONS is a more natural, food-safe finish that is based on orange oil, so it smells beautiful and brings out the best in your product.

It contains no drying agents. Its slow-drying property means that it won’t set in those ‘hard to reach’ places, nor harden in the tin. Just wash out the brush in warm water and soap.

We use Organoil Danish oil on all our boxes. 


PETE’S POLISH

Pete is a respected furniture maker of thirty years and has only ever used his own beeswax polish. It’s an excellent wood ‘feed’, easily applied and absorbed, and suitable for the care of all timber.

PETE’S POLISH is made on his property on the Sunshine Coast. Col uses this polish to finish his boxes, and so, of course, we recommend it to all box makers.

We stock Pete’s Polish. Call us on 0411 283 802.
