True Grit Original Woodturners Abrasive Paste Wax – Made in Yorkshire!

True Grit is a wax-based, all-natural, abrasive wax paste, hand blended in West Yorkshire. It is made from a unique blend of waxes, natural abrasives and oils.

True Grit is designed to take your workpiece from 240-grit up to around 1000-grit, whilst reducing airborne dust and leaving you with a silky smooth end product.

True Grit can be used as your final finish or as a stepping stone between sanding and your final wax finish.

As well as a final finish it also works amazingly well to denib and polish a lacquer finish bringing your finished item up to a near-mirror gloss!

True Grit is like liquid sandpaper, reducing scratches left by the initial sanding and eliminating fine dust produced by traditional sanding at higher grades. The grinding powder is designed to break down to a finer mesh as they are used, while still maintaining a cutting edge.

True Grit is a premium, wax-based finishing compound that delivers a beautifully smooth finish while significantly reducing airborne dust compared to traditional sanding methods. This product is ideal for woodturning, furniture making, and fine woodworking, True Grit can be used as a final finishing stage or as an intermediate step between sanding and your final wax polish. Its self-refining abrasive structure breaks down during use, gradually producing a finer finish while still maintaining effective cutting performance.

Beyond raw timber finishing, True Grit is also highly effective for denibbing and polishing lacquered surfaces, helping to achieve a deep, near-mirror gloss on completed projects with minimal effort.

For the ultimate finishing system, True Grit pairs perfectly with True Grit Super Fine – taking that polish to the next level! If you’re looking for an all-in-one product, then its worth checking out the Chestnut Cut ’N’ Polish. This offers rapid scratch removal and polishing at the same time. Once you have finished your piece, you will need to apply a final finish that is dependent on the timber & use.  Chestnut Microcrystalline Wax is a good ‘all-rounder’ to pair with True Grit, offering a high-quality wax finish & long-lasting protection and shine, but please check to ensure what finish you require before applying.
