Looking at the MSDS it appears the Estate Eggshell is a waterborne Alkyd resin possibly similar to BM Advance.  Mark, do you spray or brush your finishes, either way it looks great.  Also could you tell us a bit more about the hard wax oil, what is the application method?  I don't know if a similar product is available here in the states but it sounds appealing.

Its not as hard as say a poly, but its much easier to repair if it does get chipped/scratched so its a trade off. Its water based(I think) so I clean up with water, but its fully washable when cured. Every client so far loves the the more natural look it gives their furniture, and the fact its easy enough to maintain later down the line. With the paint they can change the colour themselves if the mood takes them, and the face timbers just need oiling again.


Thanks Mark.
There is a Farrow and Ball retailer in town and I am going to check them out today. I will tell them you sent me. Big Grin

Hi Kevin, all my finishes are brushed on including the Hard wax oil, you just rag the excess off in the case of the oil, but you can get both paint and oil versions that can be sprayed. I think tried and true do a version of the oil called "original wood finish", though I have never used it so can't be sure. The hard wax oil is simply brushed on, then you wipe the excess off, then another coat is applied thinly at the end of the day and left on. It was/is used as a floor finish, so its fairly durable too. This is now my go to finish for all face timber.
