We buy quite a lot of hardwood. We hold knife making classes with approximately 50 people a week so we use quite a lot and are always looking for something interesting. Black Forest Wood company always has what we are looking for at a fair price. The staff are amazing. We’ve shopped around and now Black Forest is the only place we go for our handle material. Thanks Black Forest!
Used teak(clear) on Iroko chairs. Very easy to apply and enhanced the look of the Iroko.
Ben is the greatest! He offered me sound solutions for preparing my wood prior to my starting my CNC project - I can’t say enough about this store and he is one of the reasons they are so successful!
Was very happy with all the wood I bought. And the customer service was outstanding
Great selection of affordable exotic wood that is cleanly cut and smooth sided ready to work with.
Black Forest made a custom countertop for us. Very nicely done, good service and nicely finished on time.
One of the few products I've tried that is actually as good as advertised and just as easy to apply as they say! Makes an oil finish virtually waterproof and protects against scratches. I've had this on my family table (that my 2 and 4 year old use every day) for 6 months now and it still looks brand new! Put this on a table for my in laws as well with the same experience
This oil has quite a learning curve, especially if you only other experience is with linseed oil or other similarly liquidy finishes.
Went way too heavy on my first coat, but having learned from my mistake the second and third (only two are required but I figured a third can't hurt) went on super easy and the end product looks phenomenal.
Currently waiting for it to fully cure and then applying the ceramic coat, if the ceramic meets my expectations I'll be a repeat customer for sure.
For any first time users, it cannot be stressed enough just how little is needed!! What ended up working for me was dipping a plastic spoon in the can, and letting it drizzle on, and from there I would just periodically touch the table and when it was no longer tacky or not as tacky I would apply more. From there, just follow the directions on the can and your work will have an amazing finish :)
I have tried different oils and rubs on my wood countertops but they continued to get stained. I used the oil and the platinum ceramic coat and the countertops are beautiful. So far, no stains, and easy cleanup.
The pigment definitely does glow. However you will need to add a LOT. This may be an issue as it will slightly change the color of your epoxy. Overall very impressed with this product.
I find that the Rampa inserts were easy to work with, and I could get them in perpendicular to the workpiece without any extra aids or help.
It was good to find that someone in Calgary was selling them. My order was filled quickly and accurately by Black Forest Wood Company.
I love my beautiful figured walnut accent table & thought it couldn't be more beautiful. As I applied the base coat (we used Gold twice) and then the top coat, I couldn't believe how much the grain popped even more. The ceramic coat made my unbelievably beautiful table look even more stunning!
