Oil based finishing systems penetrate deep into the wood and protect from within without forming a film.

Varnish & lacquer based finishing systems form a thick film layer on the surface of the wood and protect from the outside.

OSMO's Hardwax-Oil finishing system protects from both inside & outside, penetrating into the wood and forming a protective, micro-porous surface.
