Le Tonkinois varnish

[hodge grayson]

This comes quite highly recommeneded on the chainsawbars website, does anyone use it on their boards, carvings or greenwood projects? It sounds like a good all-round solution for protection and presentation, but it might just be hype. Those who have used/do use this varnish, what do you think of it? If any of you have photos of projects finished with it, please post them too. Cheers.

I use it quite a lot in boats. Lovely stuff. Not magic of course but very nice and easy to use. Five to eight coats needed for a “yott” finish but you don’t need to let each coat cure. If you want a magic product try and hunt down “Awlwood”. Horrible name and not easy to buy but genuinely different and super long lasting

Cheers for that, I'll have a look at Awlwood. I've heard as well Rubio is pretty good, I maybe just need to experiment with small tins of a few different finishers.
