We are coming to the end of having a new staircase fitted. Apart from
specifying and ordering, my total involvement so far has been helping
manoeuvre it through the front door and machining up a strip of farm Oak
to finish the landing return!
I don't think beeswax is ideal as a stair finish but what should I use?
My carpenters have recommended *Osmo* which is a fancy finishing oil
from Germany.
Attempting to buy some through Amazon, I got caught by their new secure
login: where you have to *tap* the message sent to your mobile! Are
geriatric/Luddites not allowed to shop anymore! I suppose I could get
the catering dept. to use her account. Two birds with one stone as the
new stair was entirely her idea!
I've used Osmo frequently, very good but not cheap. In case you aren't
aware there's a range of types so a bit of research is needed. Also, you
may well find cheaper suppliers (on feebay or elsewhere) than Amazon.
