To date, I have used the wax on 6 18th century Antique pieces with great results.
I highly recommend Gilboys beeswax polishes. They do such a great job. I recently used it on a 17th century dark wood buffet and it has come up lovely. Their honey is great too.
After asking for some advice I received far more information than I expected. My order arrived well packed with attention to detail. I haven’t used it yet but it smells wonderful. The sunflower seeds are also a great addition to pay the bees back for their hard work.
I have used this starter kit before - holds finish well and the smell is so good.
I am very satisfied with the results and the advice! Thank you for producing such a quality product! This is a restoration unfortunately started prior to my working on this piece. My decision to wax is based on a desire to preserve as much of the original artists intent as I can interpret. “Sarah” is also a family heirloom and my mother’s request before she passed away that I restore “her” to her former beauty.
After many, many hours of careful hand sanding, I applied a general teak oil, then your hard wax to fill some cracks only to help reduce future damage from humidity, etc. as this has been in my family for approximately 62 years, I can say “she” looks incredible
Everything about Gilboys products is excellent, the packaging, advice, rapid servce and then the products, they are a joy to use and do a brilliant job.
It is not often in life that your expectations are fully met. With Gilboys wax my expectations were exceeded. Quality of the highest degree is the only way to describe this amazing product
Fantastic products, in particular the hard wax oil. Far superior to others I have tried. And Simon's videos have been invaluable.
It is without a doubt my go to finish. It’s lovely to apply, and goes a long way (also doesn’t have too strong a smell for indoor applications). Recently used to refurb kitchen worktop (although have used it quite a bit previously). Will be buying it again and again. Thank you.
Very fast post, a lovely personal message and some sunflower seeds included. Thank you so much. I planted them straight away.
Bought as part of a gift. Recipient loves honey and tells me that it is smashing stuff. Second time purchasing. Recently purchased along with a wax kit. Love receiving items from Gilboys. Excellent packaging and along with the personal note and the seeds for Bees it’s a real treat. Thank you
Lovely products. Third purchase of wax from this smashing company. Also have a tin of the hard wax. Followed the video of how to use each wax and our old pine table top looks great. Highly recommended.
Happy with the results, have used a softer beeswax which has been easier to apply with my Annie Sloan wax brush which is great to get into detail that you can’t with the wire wool or cloth. My mahogany drawers are much improved with the antique gold would recommend
Lovely stuff to use. Realised after watching the very helpful video that the underlying finish needs redoing so sent off for the hard wax oil. Now I’ve got the right stuff I’m looking forward to having a go with it to renovate my sideboard top
Lovely cloths brought my wooden coffee table up to a beautiful shine glad I got these
Sometimes commenting on a product is easy, what is there to say, Gilboys waxes are the finest that you can buy. This is no different. Total perfection, as usual. These are the only waxes that get anywhere near my furniture. They make finishing even more of a pleasure.
Excellent product very fast international delivery. I am pleased with the product iI ordered. Highly recommend Gillboys products to others, great company to deal with. Thank you Gillboys!
I have been involved in woodwork for a large part of my working life and still am even though I have been retire for some years. I have tried all sorts of finishes from home recipes of gurus to chemical brews most of which serve some sort of purpose .
None of them come near the results I have been able to achieve using Gilboys Hard Wa Oils and waxes. The only problem I have with them is they are in Pomgolia and I am in Australia . Freight rates are crippling . Cheers Rolf
A truly exceptional range of products, the attention to the way the products are packaged and the personal touches are a credit to the company.
As for how the products perform, brilliantly, what more could you ask for?
I’ve been so impressed I’ve invested in a lifetime’s supply of the Pure Gold Wax.
Really pleased with Pine table and benches transformation. All down to Gilboys hard wax oil and Antique Gold beeswax, guided by Simon’s YouTube video. After and before photos below
I was delighted to see that Gilboys head office was close to where I live. I'd already seen several of the online videos and was impressed with the team's level of knowledge. So I popped down to their new premises and was met by an exceptionally helpful and friendly team. I was able to talk through the 3 different repair projects I had and was given wonderful advice on how to manage them. The kit that I bought is brilliant and exactly what I needed. Great product, great advice, great company. Well done Gilboys!!!
BEESWAX LEATHER BALSAM CONDITIONER IS THE BEST, THANKS TO GILBOYS AND THE BEES FOR MAKING A GREAT PRODUCT. 🐝
