Which types of wood and applications is OLI NATURA® hardwax oil suitable for?

Would you like a transparent coloured look? Then choose OLI NATURA® COLOUR hardwax oil - also available in Cotton White for the popular Scandi look. Do you prefer the more intense enhancement of the wood grain provided by a classic impregnating oil? Then OLI NATURA® Project Oil is the right choice.
How does OLI NATURA® hardwax oil change the appearance and feel of the wood?
The natural appearance of the wood is retained. The grain and structure are gently accentuated, while the surface remains open-pore and tactile.
