After using our Water Based Wood Dye many customers ask us what they should use to finish their project.  They are looking for something that will add protection without distorting the high quality finish of the wood dye.  Our advice varies between each project from Wax Polish, Extra Strong Varnish or one of our finishing oils, depending on the project's surrounding environment.  For a job in a bathroom say, we would recommend our Danish Oil to offer that extra durability and water proof protection.
