Today I went window shopping for new wood oil. 

I had several sample cans of Osmo oil from 2021, and a little really goes a long way with it, but after my intense restoration activity this year most of them have run out. 

One little can (125 ml) costed ~$15 then. I wanted to order a replacement and turns out it costs $30 now 💀

Which made me search for more affordable alternatives, and I found one that's 3 times cheaper. So today I was on a mission to compare the samples to see which colours were dupes.

And I have to say, I can see where Osmo gets its price 😭 There weren't any dupes for my favourite colours, and some of the samples were weirdly grainy. 

Still decided to try at least the transparent one on the stairs. The scrooge in me is persistent!

How long does 125 ml last? How many cans do you need for the stairs? I don’t see the difference, but I’m sure you as a specialist see the difference in coverage

Oh, it seems economical. I’ve always been interested in woodwork. Once I tried to repaint an old wooden chair, but I didn’t have enough patience to remove the old varnish (apparently it was of very high quality) 🙈

The great thing is that one little can will be enough for all the stairs if I decide to do 1 layer of this finish 😌

Curious to see how's it's going to turn out!
