In this video I put two hard wax oil wood finishes to the test - Osmo Polyx-Oil Vs Oli Natura Hard Wax Oil from Germany - which happens to be the cheapest hard wax oil available on Amazon.  I test out their appearance, ease of application, drying and cure time, stain resistance and value for money.

In this video I build two drawer units as a base for my desk in a mid century modern feel using some salvaged timber that had a woodworm problem, some nice sapele boards and some birch plywood for my DIY dream desk build.
