Product Description

Yorkshire grit is an abrasive paste formulated to give a fine keyed surface to your turnings, prior to applying your finish of choice. It consists of pharmaceutical grade ingredients, including mineral oil, beeswax and ultra fine grinding powders. These are then carefully blended (without the use of solvents or other strong smelling and potentially harmful chemicals) to produce a creamy abrasive paste. In comparison tests we believe the finish is at least equivalent to 1000 grit.

The original recipe for Hampshire Sheen original brings a protective glow to your pieces. The danish oil warms the wood, whilst the carnauba and microcrystalline waxes add a lustre to wood whilst making it splash and fingerprint resistant. Easy to apply, Original will make a great addition to your collection of preferred finishes.

As the name suggests, the Hampshire Sheen High Gloss brings a higher shine to your work than Original. It is just as tough, but with an additional ‘Pow’ of shine that suits some lathe projects. With a higher quantity of carnauba and microcrystalline waxes, this version is stiffer than Original but is just as easy to apply.

"Works well. Achieved a mirror smooth finish with much less effort than going through lots of grits. A bit pricey, but worth it because it gives you more time doing the fun and creative bits."

"What a great combination! individually they are good, together they are great. Finishing has never been my forte, now I'm looking for things to turn just so I can polish them. It's not too far a stretch to say they have changed my (woodturning) life."

By Alexander J Millar on 10th April 2018
