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.

Indeed. I have an order penciled in with a supplier at Folkestone.
