Oil varnishes such as Le Tonkinois, or the RUCO SILK one-component lacquer (which can also be blended with oil for a Sam Maloof's oil/varnish mixture), combine the natural nourishing effect of oil with the protective finish of a varnish.
They penetrate into the wood, enhance the grain and at the same time create a durable, water- and dirt-repellent surface.
Le Tonkinois is an ecologically sound oil varnish that has been approved by the French Navy for use as a marine varnish.
