Best way to finish an oak worktop.

JohnB47 · 2022-07-03 15:38:54

I have Oak worktop in the kitchen. It was fitted around 10 years ago and is now looking a bit sad. Quite a few areas where the original oil has worn away and others that are black stained when wet tins were left sitting on it. I've also discovered that a solution of bicarb of soda left on a glass bottom or spoon set on it…

If you're going to the trouble of scraping/sanding etc back to bare wood almost, or entirely, I'd seriously consider Osmo as per the above recommendation. I got some Osmo oil especially for kitchen worktops, food safe etc and it was brilliant. That was after using Osmo (polyx raw) on floors upstairs so I knew it was decent. Easy to apply, looks decent, hard wearing etc.
