Kind Comments

"We have been using Heritage Natural Finishes for over 16 years. We started using it as an oil finish for timber frames and an end seal for the ends of our timbers. But over the years we have used it on furniture, cabinets and most recently as a hardwood floor finish. I have a couple pieces of furniture we take to display at home shows, they sit in the back of the truck in rain, sun, ice and snow. Dry them off and rub on a quick coat of Heritage, and its back to new. I love it, and will always use it." - Stephen Morrison, MoreSun Custom Woodworking, Mountain Rest, SC

"We build outdoor Maine Adirondack Chairs of native White Cedar and use Heritage Natural Finishes as our exclusive finish when customers request oil finish. Our search for a high end finish has ended and we trust the formula that Heritage has put together. Customers love the fact that we're using natural ingredients to bring out the best features of our cedar chairs and accessories." - Rob Lemire, Grapevine Hill Woodworking, Vassalboro, ME

"The quality of the natural finish is outstanding, and the aroma of the orange oil makes its application refreshing and enjoyable. We particularly appreciate that all the ingredients are natural, so we won't have to be concerned about what we breathe in our new timber frame home! Autumn also has been a wonderful source of expertise and information on the use of the finishes. When I mentioned our need for exterior finish in association with a purchase of a 55 gallon barrel (a huge savings in cost!) she helpfully mentioned that we could add two ingredients, available from her shop, that will make the original finish into what would be the exterior finish. That will save us both money and trouble. Great products. Great people. Highly recommended!" - James Heimbach

From timber frames, fine furniture, rustic antiques, siding, decks to basically anywhere you want to use wood, we have a finish for that.

We have looked back through history to find the world’s greatest wood finishes and have brought them together with a twist of citrus to continue the tradition of richly beautiful, durable and graceful finishes for wood of all types.

Composition

We disclose ALL ingredients that we use. Heritage Natural Finishes contain NO petroleum products, or metallic drying agents whatsoever. We use only the highest quality ingredients from the most sustainable sources possible. What you see here is what you get. If you have any questions, you can always call us.

Tung Oil

100% pure with no additives. This is the highest quality tung oil available; drying harder and forming a more durable finish than linseed oil alone. Both oils are dryer-free and slightly heat-treated (polymerized).

Special Aged Linseed Oil

Obtained from flax grown in the Red River Valley of the U.S. and Canada. It is purified and refined by natural oxidation and blowing, and dries as clear or clearer than tung oil, with none of the characteristic discoloration that is typical of hardware store varieties. No other finishing oil penetrates as deeply into wood.

Beeswax

Only filtered, chemical and bleach-free white beeswax wax is used. Beeswax adds visual depth of grain, smoothness, and elastic durability. Beeswax forms a skim coat that keeps the finish on the wood, slowing the evaporation of the solvent, which gives the oils more time for absorption.

Pure Citrus Solvent

This is the purest form of citrus turpenes (solvent), extracted from cold-pressed orange peel oil. This is the only solvent used in our finishes, and is also sold separately for thinning product or cleaning up. Pure Citrus Solvent is a safer alternative to mineral spirits, and other harsh solvents and can be used the same way.

Pine Rosin

Gum rosin extracted from pine sap and separated from the turpentine. This is the gum rosin found in heart pine, giving the wood its hardness and durability. We use only top grade, crystal-free, water-white rosin. No synthetic resins are used.
