I have stripped back and sanded a few pieces of timber furniture. I am wanting to keep the raw timber finish/colour. I bought Bunnings soft wax (clear) and sampled some on the timber but it has changed the colour i am after. What product do i need to seal the furniture without compromising the colour i want?
Hi @TessLockyer,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
There are a variety of clear oils and varnishes that can be used, however, some slight changes in the timber's colour are likely.
Can you advise what species of timber you are coating? Also, is it going to be indoors or outdoors?
I can make some enquiries with our suppliers about the best product for your specific circumstances once I have a few more details.
Also, allow me to tag @arfabuck who is as an antique furniture restorer by trade and is likely to have advice to offer.
Let me know how you go.

Hi @TessLockyer,
Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community.
Just following up whether you can provide some more details so we can assist you? You might like to share some photos of your furniture so everyone can see what you are working with.
Please let us know if you need a hand uploading some photos. We're here to help.
