My wife and I have used your Orange Tung oil to good
effect on a timber floor and are very pleased with it, thank you. |
||||
|
Greetings/ I am pleased that at last I have come across
this wonderful product! I run woodworking activities with groups. Could
you please provide me with MSDS sheets for my students? |
||||
|
Thank you for all your assistance. The floors look great
already with just one coat of Orange Tung so they are going to be
brilliant when finished. |
||||
|
I have had my floors sanded & coated with the Orange Tung oil & it looks fabulous! I really like it, so thanks for your advice with this. Thanks again, Kath |

Hi David, thanks for the information you emailed me. I purchased 5 litres of orange tung oil. It looks lovely on my new benches and smells great - much better than the Danish oil I have used on the bathroom cabinetry. Thanks, Lyndell |

I have found Howard Products work so well that they are
mostly all I use. I experiment and mix and match the various products to
get the result I am looking for and I have never been let down.

Restor-A-Finish worked so well on a Saturday that I
bought some more in a different colour on the Sunday! |

I have found Feed-N-Wax the easiest and most effective
product of its type. |

| I would just like to say a BIG thank you for the prompt delivery
of my order which I only ordered yesterday. I would also like to say OH
MY GOODNESS!! If I had not seen it myself I would not have believed it.
I wish I took before and after shots. I have a dining table I bought on
ebay which was in OK nick but 2 days after getting it my husband managed
to create a big heat mark on it. I think it is just a veneer with a
polyurethane finish, I just don't know what it is but I tried
everything. Bicarb soda, leaving it in the sun, a towel with an iron -
you name it every single old wives tale. Anyhow 10 minutes of restor-a-finish
and voila - perfect. A shine with feed and wax and you'd think it was
never there. I'm going to go over it again in a few months as I have
barely touched the bottle it is so economical and I am sure the kids
will rough it up again. Plus as I was so fixated on the heat mark I didn't
do the rest of the table quite so carefully and missed a few minor
scratches. But can I say once again that I am simply amazed at how
easily I got rid of that heat mark. Thank you once again. V. Sharma |

| I purchased one of your Woodcare kits at the Brisbane Timber and
Wood show last week. I wanted to use it on my dining table to remove
heat marks, and marks from black oil felt pens. While the person who
served me did not know if the felt pen marks would come off, let me tell
you it did. I had virtually ruined the table by tracing a pattern off a
master using the felt pen, and it had marked the table all over. With
that and the heat marks, and one of those was as large as a saucer, as
coffee had been spilt on the table, I thought I would have to have the
table completely stripped and renovated. This is a wonderful product, as with about an hour's work, I have a table top like new.I have recommended this to friends of mine via e-mail tonight, one in particular is waiting to hear how it went with me, as she has a Queenslander full of lovely furniture that needs a little restoration. Thank you, again, I'm very impressed - going to try it on the piano stool tomorrow! Delia Priest - Walkerston...Q 4751 |

| Hi, I am writing to you from the United States, in the state of
Maine. My grandfather had only used Howard's orange oil on his
furniture, and before going to the nursing home, he had given some of us
grandchildren the extra bottles he had left. The address on these
bottles is in New Jersey. I called the phone number on the bottle and it
is no longer in service. We all love this oil, but as you can probably
guess, we are getting low. Do you have any one in the States that we can
purchase this through, or can we purchase it directly through you? Thank you for your time. Rory L Cookson Dover-Foxcroft, ME 04426 |

| Greetings I would be pleased if you could advise me as to the suitability of Feed-N-Wax for red cedar , parts of which are exposed to direct sunlight for several hours each day in summer. ( I have a bottle of the product which was purchased at a furniture show in Canberra earlier this year and the initial effects upon a hardwood table with rainwater stains was very pleasing. ) I would appreciate your advice. Thankyou David Howes |

| Hello I have recently had the pleasure of a local removalist who kindly used your brand of orange furniture oil on my furniture. He was very proud to show the difference the polish made to my furniture, in particular, my piano that is over 80 years old that desperately required some 'moisture'. It is very rare to find a removalist who shows so much care.
Many Thanks |

| Dear Sir, I am having a local French polisher do a small job for me and he recommended Howard's Furniture Polish as the best polish I could get to use to keep the finished article in good condition.. (He was most enthusiastic about its qualities) He does have bottles of the polish at his workshop but they are the large bottles and I would prefer a smaller bottle of the polish. I live in the Gosford area (my home address is below) so could you inform me where I might buy a smaller quantity of the polish and the cost, that is. if you make the smaller bottle. Yours sincerely, Cec. Hynes Point Clare 2250 |

| I’m one of your naughty customers, I told my husband that I had
purchased the products and he asked me to cancel. He told me none of
these products work and if they did they would be world known. Well I didn’t cancel, the order arrived and I quickly used it before he got home to see what would happen, and guess what I am sooooo impressed. I had my coffee table and side tables imported from India 7 years ago which had the white water marks on it (from once storing in moist area) and k-a-boom the table looks new. And yes we are still married and he said I am lucky …………….. This weekend cannot wait to get stuck into the side tables. Thanks Again Velinda Letters |

| The following email correspondence is more than just a glowing
testimonial. It is also contains useful advice for all customers Question from customer I have a very old oak sideboard which was made by my grandfather, belonged to my grandparents, my mother and now myself. I'm not sure of the age but it must be at least 70 years old. It is very dark with the accumulation of the years, and the top is badly marked. I have purchased some Restor a Finish and started work on it today. On the sides and doors the Restor a Finish is amazing - I couldn't believe the effect it had. It was like using an eraser to clean away the dark accumulation. However I am having trouble with the top. I have the 0000 steel wool and have scrubbed and scrubbed with little effect. The colour of the wood has come somewhat lighter, but I can't get the marks out. Do you have any suggestions for me? Should I try a coarser steel wool? I thought I would continue with the doors and drawers and when I finish try the top again, in the hope that I have loosened some of the grime and marks. I would really appreciate some advice. I am taking before and after photos and it is quite amazing. Thanks for your time. Vera |

| Response from Howard Products. Hi Vera, The difficulty you’re having with the top is very likely because the top, unlike the sides, has suffered a variety of treatments and potions in its long and varied life in service to your family. These layers of detritus must be cut through to get to what was there originally, unless it’s been stripped away. Even if the original shellac has been stripped away, it’s still there in essence and can be brought back to life in a limited way. Here’s what I suggest …. But take courage... it will take nerves of steel: Take a tin of Neutral Restor-A-Finish. Take a pack of Howard 0000 steel wool. Take a pack of rubber surgical gloves. Now … set about stripping the surface of your sideboard. Don’t panic, you won’t really be stripping it, you’ll just be pretending to. Saturate your pad of steel wool with the Restor-A-Finish and get stuck into the top of your sideboard, use good firm pressure and work in fairly long, even strokes going back and back over the surface until it gives and begins to break-up. Wipe away excess gunk as you go with clean cloth. Discard it as it becomes filled with gunk and replace with fresh cloth. You will begin to see a nice, satiny, mellow surface emerge, keep it going until you begin to see the look that you know is as good as you’ll get beginning to make itself clear to you. Stand back, take a breath, grab fresh, clean cloth and wipe the surface dry. Go to bed or go out, forget the job until the next day. Next day: Apply a good even coat of Feed-N-Wax to the whole surface and let it dry for an hour or so. Come back and buff it dry. Burnish it, rub it until it looks good. Then repeat the process if you feel it needs it. Give it the works, you will be rewarded. What you end up with will be so much better than that dark, unforgiving accumulation of old polish, caked shellac, dirt and silicone. Regards, David

| Update from customer Hi David, Just to update you on the progress of my sideboard. I have used a whole can of Restor-A-Finish, and still have one side to go. However that side is against the wall and can wait till I get another can. I still cannot get the marks off the top of the sideboard - I've got the gunk off, the colour is right, but there are still marks, one of which is, I think, a burn. I've polished it all with the Feed-N-Wax, and it is looking a whole different piece of furniture. It gave the term "distressed timber" a whole deeper meaning! I am attaching some photos to show you the difference. Photo 1 is the sideboard before any work. In photo 2 I have used the Restor-A-Finish on the centre panel only - see the difference. Photos 3 & 4 show the sideboard polished and gleaming! When I get another can of Restor-A-Finish and do the hidden side, do you think I should go over the rest of it again? Is it likely that more will come out? And what should I do with the top? Even if I leave it and do no more, it is SO much better, but if possible I would like to get more of the marks out. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to give me advice. I would be more than happy to endorse these two products, I think they are just fantastic. Vera (Please view pictures….) |

| Further Response from Howard Products. I bought some Orange oil and Citrus Shield for our redgum kitchen
benches on a recent trip to Melbourne and both my partner and I LOVE the
outcome. They look terrific and I am so pleased that I have used these
natural products.
I’m an industrial arts teacher, my students and I use your unique
products in class. My HSC boys are using your products in their senior
years projects. I have restored an old kitchen table using Restor-A-Finish and it
came back like new. We rescued an old cedar book case from a blue bin by the road. Your
Restor-A-Finish took off all the rubbish and the colour of that lovely
old wood came to life again. It was really unbelievable! I use a ton of your Restor-A-Finish in all colours. I also use a lot
of Citrus Shield wax and Feed-N-Wax for restoration work. They are
brilliant products.
I scratched an old walnut table really badly. I used Restor-A-Finish
on it and it came up brilliantly. I paid $12 to come to the Sydney Wood
Show just to tell you. I used Restor-A-Finish on my 1897 Singer sewing machine. At first I
just wanted to repair a small area but the results were so amazing I
just couldn’t stop. It’s compulsive! I’ve got several projects on the
boil now. I love your orange oil. I used it on an old cabinet held together
with metal surrounds. I’m converted! There are really no other products that come close to
Feed-N-Wax and Orange Oil. I clean my furniture down with Orange Oil and
follow up with a quick coat of Feed-N-Wax. It looks as though I’ve spent
hours looking after my stuff but it only takes minutes. Hi, I live in Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast, Everything gets mouldy
very quickly here in the wet season. I used your Orange Oil before when
I lived on Phillip Island and I don’t want to use anything else. Can you
please send me more? I'm going to be desperate soon as the climate here
is not wonderful for my antiques. Thank you for your wonderful help. The first time I bought [and got
addicted to] your orange oil was in Mildura. I found it in the orange
shop, where just about everything was orange flavoured or scented. We
now love this unique cleaner and polisher and we’d never use anything
else on the furniture or woodwork in our house. I was really surprised at how easily your Restor-A-Finish removed
felt pen marks, heat rings and scratches from our dining table. I did as
you suggested and followed up with a coat of Feed-N-Wax for protection.
So easy compared to the usual beeswaxes! Last year I saw your talk at the Brisbane Wood Show and bought your
little trial kit. Well, everything worked exactly as you said it would
and I’m back to buy some more. My job is with Bunnings who don’t yet stock your product but I’ve
been using your Tung Oil and Feed-N-Wax on my Tasmanian Oak flooring in
our new house in preference to any of the usual brands available. The
result is beautiful. It gets quite a thrashing with my two little kids
but we can cover most marks with a bit of your fabulous Feed-N-Wax.
By far the most important purchase I made at the recent Gardening
Show at Homebush was your Feed-N-Wax. It certainly revitalises my
furniture but just as importantly it revitalises me. I’m 86 years old
and Feed-N-Wax has enabled me to do things that only hired help could do
in the past. Feed-N-Wax has indisputably revived my furniture but do you know that
it is also wonderful on shoes, handbags, metal ornaments and a whole
range of odds and ends? |
