I bought the polishing kit and hard wax oil to renovate a very old chest of drawers, I found exactly the right products to use, they are excellent! The instructions were good, the polishing kit contained all I needed to finish the job,
Very good product
I am a hobbyist woodworker and use the "pure gold" on all my pieces, as well as on furniture around the house. It is, in my opinion, by far the best beeswax product out there.
Earlier this year we moved into our (literally) 'forever' home, a council bungalow with nice wide doorways and sadly, really nasty old, heavy interiro fire doors that were hard to open and ugly as can be. Some months in, counting pennies and wondering how to deal with this, the Council (Cornwall btw) have no interest in interior doors, sais we could 'do as we like' with them. So we have.
With the last of our savings and fingers crossed we ordered 5 new pine doors and one glazed with an oak finish (a treat!) For the kitchen, hired a local chap to fit them which he duly did while talking the hind legs off several donkies. Then, what to finish them with?
Story getting too long now, so yes, we ordered Gilboys' Hard Wax Oil, based on reviews, the price - bleddy good! - And necessity for something farily quick drying with an inoffensive smell. It does pong. But it also dries within very few hours to a warm finish... We haven't rubbed the doors down yet, they are still a bit rough to the touch, they need at least one more coat. That'll have to wait now the weather has close in.
Buying from a company so near, with beeswax from Buckfast Abbey, and at such a good price, with free sunflower seeds too - yippety! We are very pleased. Might buy some wax polish too, see how we go. Hope this is enough, got fed up with receiving email prompts to review then found could cancel; we will use Gilboys again and recommend. The YouTube vids are great, your enthusiasm is infectous. I'm disabled and for some reason enjoying writing too much for this review... Happy Hallowe'en! Debs & Mike in Falmouth
took a recommendation [thanks Terry and Ash Chateaux Lalachelle]] and its great. Also just have to say the service was fabulous too. Very courteous and the packaging and care [and the wee surprise for the bees] took me back to a bygone era where customers felt valued.and it felt like a personal service. I'm a very happy customer thank you
Have just used this lovely wax to restore an old water-marked chest and it has come up beautifully. The online videos for the use of the oxalic acid and the wax were really helpful. Thanks!
I bought this hard wax oil to apply a ' finish' to my Christmas offerings to family and friends that live around the world. Using a number of different hard woods I have been very impressed with the finish on my projects. A little goes a long way so apart from quality you have value. At 71 I am a beginner enjoying my hobby and appreciate the professional quality of Gilboys wax.
i upcycle furniture for a living and have tried various wax buffing tools both manual and ones on my power tools. This is wonderful and does the job, great purchase and nice discount thanks to Chateau D Lalacelle
Combined with Simon’s videos, I feel comfortable with this purchase. Using the wax polish, soft wire wool and cloth, I now have a beautiful finish on all my kitchen tops. The water is beading on the surfaces and the whole place is gleaming like new. And, I am now confident I can easily repeat the process in perhaps six months time to keep it that way - the job took less than an hour to get done.
It’s brought my oak table to life again - wonderful
Very impressed with the Polish, we will be ordering more when we run out

easy of use and end result just as wanted. just a perfect product
Very effective treatment as promised Thank you
