A Durable Paste Wax Finish, Popular for Furniture and Guitar Builders

A natural and incredibly durable paste wax wood finish, Furniture Butter is perfect for finishing and protecting tables, chairs, bookcases, coffee tables, picture frames, guitars, and more. As a paste wax finish, Furniture Butter is highly versatile and easy to use. After curing, it enhances and locks in the wood's natural colors and tones, providing a smooth satin sheen, all while protecting the wood’s surface against water and moisture.

Furniture Butter is VOC-free and made with natural polymerizing oils, rosin, and hard waxes. Formulated to mimic the Venetian varnishes of the past, it is the ideal wood finish for stringed instruments like guitars, violins, and cellos, as well as fine furniture.

8 oz. jar cannot ship to Canada currently.

Furniture Butter Product Details

Furniture Butter acts as a 2-in-1 finish and wax, conditioning and protecting the wood in a one step process. Any of these products can be used alone, but our fool-proof method for the best protection is to use Furniture Finish, Furniture Butter, then Furniture Wax in that order.

Use on hardwoods that are sanded between 220 - 400 grit. The lower the grit, the deeper the oil will soak. The higher the grit, the smoother the wood will feel. To prevent raised grain, always use the "sand, wet, sand" method. Apply thin layer of oil until entire surface is covered. Wipe away excess after 24 hrs. Repeat until desired number of coats and look is achieved. After final coat, allow 24 - 48 hrs for surface to become dry to touch. May take up to 1 week to be completely dry to touch and up to 4 weeks to be completely cured. While curing, it's ideal for the wood piece to be kept in a temperature controlled environment. Humidity and high heat can prolong cure time. Keep liquids off surface for up to 4 weeks. For more application guidelines, visit our "Product Instructions" page!

Yes, we only use ingredients that are 100% FDA approved for food contact surfaces to make our products! Our Furniture Butter is made 100% VOC-Free, with zero dryers, metals, or chemicals. 

Furniture Butter can be used to finish and protect tables, chairs, bookcases, coffee tables, picture frames, and a whole lot more.

Furniture Butter can be used over oil-based stains, along with chalk, milk, or clay paints.

Satisfied

I applied the Walrus Oil Furniture Butter to several cutting boards and bowls using wet/dry sanding paper. Furniture Butter is thicker than many of the other products I've used and took slightly more effort to spread which I have no issue with. Application was over previously applied pure tung oil. Coverage was excellent. Allowed to stand for several hours then buffed. Applied second coat with a finer grit paper and let sit. Wiped off excess and buffed. Nice satin sheen to wood. Water ran off leaving only a few beads. Very impressed with initial results.

Amazing Finish!!

Just wanted to begin this by saying I’m a total neophyte woodworker. Just started this year on a few live edge pieces and have really enjoyed it. I applied Walrus Oil Furniture Butter over an American Black Walnut coffee table that I finished with tung oil varnish. Really beautiful final finish. Love how it brings out the richness of this dark wood.

Borderline unbelievable

This product has so many features. It is borderline unbelievable. The ease of use is perfect for any project. Even if you are a DYI. Owning a antique furniture restoration shop. I couldn't ask for a more perfect finish. The smell is similar to a wax. If you'd told me about this product, I'd said you were lying.
