Osmo Timber Finish
Natural Timber Finish
At Bombora, we honour our native Australian timbers by using a natural furniture finish that enhances rather than hides the beauty of the timber. The Osmo natural oil and wax finish is hardwearing, easy care and non-toxic. The finish soaks into the timber for deeper protection and leaves it still feeling like real timber.

Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner
A timber finish designed for life
Furniture is meant to be used not just looked at so will inevitably get a scratch or two over time. An advantage of an Osmo finished furniture is that it is renovatable. In the case of a minor scratch, an application of the Liquid Wax Cleaner or Polyx oil will make it disappear before your eyes. In the case of more major damage, the scratched area can be spot sanded and the finish re-applied. With other finishes such as a 2-pack polyurethane finish, the whole piece would need to be sanded back and refinished.
Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed not spent polishing your furniture! In an average home, a high use surface such as a dining table or timber vanity only needs a reapplication of the Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner approximately every 3 months.
