- Today I am trying a new finish for me. That is Odie's super duper dark oil. I have used Odie's original many times and love it but was curious about the dark oil as is suppose to give walnut dark rich tones and bring out the grain in light woods like hard maple #woodworking #woodworkingprojects #woodenbox

Follow the directions and nothing beats it. I have all their products and absolutely love it. A bit more work than others but so worth it. I’ve compared it to Rubio and Odies looks so much better in m opinion. Love the dark line
I'm glad you're a fan! it's always nice to hear a happy customer.
It would be helpful if you could use all three versions side by side on scraps of a light and dark wood so we could see the differences. Maybe just show them quickly on a future video.
I will do that in an upcoming video
@@woodworkingwithSkyler Thanks!!
I took a turning course several years ago, and used the Odies as a finish. I loved it. The box desperately needs to have another coat, as it looks dry now. Really do like the product
I love the rounded over box joints. Beautiful work and great video as always ms skylar.
Thank you so much.
Just finished a nightstand that I'm actually using as a charging station for my electronics. I'm using the original Odie's which I really like.
Awesome. I really like the original.
nice! we'd love to see the finish product!
@@Rocco.OdiesOil Would love to show it but unfortunately don't know how to post a pic...
Skyler, velice rád sleduji vaše videa ok.👍Jste velmi zručná a pracovitá žena ❤
:) Thank you
I prefer oils too. I have used tung oil but I like Odies too. I have never used the dark but I sure like the way your box turned out.
Thank you!
I liked the way that the walnut end grain of the joints became very dark which adds a third color to the box. Nice.
Thank you
Many woodworkers quite the Odies and are now using our abrasive paste to put the finishing sanding touches to your project and buff in our carnuba wax, food safe polish.
Another option to consider. It flows faster. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Hi Norm. Yes, but not sure will buy again. I like the original so much better
All looks good to me , great video, fitting a kitchen today myself
Look forward to watching your bed project ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
My favourite oil at the moment is the clear osmo oil. I'm only just beginning though so that could change. Love your channel. Stay safe
Osmo is one my favorites too
I'm with you, oil finishes and non glossy is the way to go for me. Really makes the wood look more natural. I would be interested in looking at those boxes you were referring to.
Here is a video of me making those boxes with laser BEST 30 W laser under $1000. LONGER B1 30W Laser Engraver. Make box joints and inlays the easy way

With Odie's Oil "oil finish" doesn't really mean non-glossy though. A lot of the reason these other hardwax oils seem to have a fixed sheen or very specific unchanging look is because chemically they are still just topcoat polyurethane. That's why they all tell you not to go beyond 120 or 220 sanding, because the topcoat needs a scratch pattern to bond to. Any finish with a part two hardener is poly. The part 2 is isocyanate, and the part 1 is a mix of solvents and drying oils. Those drying oils might be "natural", but nothing else in either can is (IE: isocyanate and the solvents they use cause cancer as do many of their other additives). As soon as you mix the part two in, the isocyanate begins bonding with the drying oil and it becomes a polyurethane. With Odie's however there is no part 2, isocyanate, solvent, or any nasty components at all. As a result we are a true, naturally hardening, oil finish that is far more resilient than any polyurethane. With Odies you can sand as high as you want. The sheen is all in the finish prep. We aren't sheen in a can, but we most certainly do have sheen. If you know how to sand well you can even achieve a higher gloss than the sheen in a can finishes. Check our Instagram, there's quite a few high sheen pieces featured there. That being said, sometimes a simple low gloss sort of "natural" finish is nice though. I definitely see the appeal and am glad you're able to get the look you want easily and safely with our product.
P.S. Sorry if this is a lot of information seeming coming out of nowhere, but the misconception that Oil finishes can't build sheen is a common one that our business has been fighting for a long time now.
I like the box you built
great project! Did the wood darken over time as the product claim? Love to know your thoughts on it.
Hi.. I kind of like how your box turned out.
I think the contrast on top of the box with the lizard and wood is very nice, and not really over powering for a smaller box.
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nice box it turned out great! I restore antique furniture, so I mostly use shellac or waterlox tung oil and then sometimes lacquer for later period pieces. It's nice to see how Odies looks!
I have to be honest with you. After the piece dried, I didn’t like it so much. The odie original is good but this one not so much. My favorite finish is in this order: Rubio monocoat, Osmo and odie original
Heard great things about waterlox. Never tried it
@@woodworkingwithSkyler I love it and that's my go to when I need to use oil. It takes a while to dry thou, so patience is required. I just used it on 18th century drawer fronts that has African mahogany veneer and after three coats the depth was amazing. I used the sealer, and when it cures the sheen is around close a matte finish. Or I can apply a semi-gloss or satin waterlox over the sealer. You can do a lot with it.
@@woodworkingwithSkyler Interesting. You're using finishes I haven't tried yet and I don't own a laser so you have a nice channel to learn from :)
I was very interested in your applicator; but after seeing the results I'll stick with my cotton rags (I get a back of scraps, cut offs from something in manufacturing). Applies a thinner coat, less to rub off (less waste prehaps?). I used to be a huge oil fan but some projects have pushed me to gel type rub in poly. And for others I've been using spay lacquer - easy to patch, looks really good. Shellac is another finish I play with but it can be fussy in application - I'm still on the learning curve. Saved my bum on one project where I had to color match a very old barber cabinet setup.
The applicator is just a non abrasive cleaning pad. Nothing special but it doesn’t absorb much product that’s why I use it
Thank you for the video and advice!
My pleasure!
Do you ever work with flipping furniture? I've been playing around with it lately. Things like older cedar chest, tables, stools.
I still like those oil based stains and finishes too. I learned finishing with spray lacquers. They are still my first choice for nice pieces 👍
Hi Ken, I only flipped two pieces of furniture before I got into the woodworking and they were both painted. I do like to spray my paint but for finishing wood (not painted) I usually go to Rubio monocoat. Is easy to apply and very durable, I have it on my wood floors and its really holding up good and really easy to touch up
@woodworkingwithSkyler Rubio? Haven't used it. Thanks for the tip! I'm doing a toy box-bench for the granddaughter 👍
@@kenharper7189 awesome. I will do a video on Rubio as I have to refinish a end table I built and finished with arm n seal. Will send down and refinish with Rubio
@@woodworkingwithSkyler Sweet! I look forward to it!
I do not have a shop yet I hope to build a shed to work in
Awesome video
Thanks
I use tung oil.
Good choice! But it dries soooo slow:)
Working on a box so my wife has a place to store out door furniture cushions. So far I've been using ozmo
Osmo is a one of my favorites. My top 3 favorites are in this order: Rubio monocoat, Osmo, Odie’s original
Have to try these other two
Good finish but I don't know about "Super Duper" Dark. Maybe put some "original" on a piece of walnut/maple and see if there is much difference! !! !!!
I will do that in an upcoming video
the "super duper" is a line of products. It's not proclaiming to be super dark. The "super duper" part is modifying "oil". If you want a super duper dark finish as you're describing it, you should buy some of our black pigment and mix it into your oil. You can make anything from a high gloss opaque black to a mild stain or even a paint with that. The super duper line of products were originally called "super duper danish oil", but we dropped the "danish" for whatever reason. The dark line of products (an idea original to Odies) is meant to slowly darken with time giving the wood a nice tanned patina. Our "super duper dark" then is essentially a danish oil designed to darken with age. I hope that clears things up for you, lol. I can see how someone new might be confused by the naming. happy finishing!
P.S. if you're going for a stain, the various brown pigments are also nice for darkening the wood. I saw someone do a really nice stain on an elm dresser with our espresso pigment. That color looked really nice with that grain pattern for whatever reason.
Nice ! Can you recommend a stain/finish for the Stickley (Mission) Furniture I plan to build with white oak ? Thanks😊
Hi Skyler! Amazing as usual! Your laser cutter boxes have turned out beautifully and the Odie's oils you are using really accentuate the wood. Unfortunately, being in Canada, Amazon is charging $152 CAD for the jar you are using whereas Amazon US is about $40 USD... so I may have to wait before purchasing :(
Anyways, I am in the midst of building a 44 x 82 inch folding workbench in my garage right now and am using a stain/polyurethane (golden oak) to harden and stain the table top and trim. So again, your videos are apropos to what I have going on as well :)
I also think you should definitely post the video of you making your daughter's bed. That would be great! Anyways, thank you again for being awesome and keep up the great work!
PS. Who keeps walking past the window?? LOL
:) We are building an addition and a deck so there are about two dozens of workers around all day. Worse thing is there is always hammering and drilling especially when I am trying to film a video. $152 CAD sounds pricy
If you are in Canada, Atlas Tools and machinery sell it for $55.99 CAD (9oz) they are in Ontario.
I'm a huge fan of Odie's Oil original and use it on most items. Not sure I like the consistency of that one you are using. Looks nice though!
I prefer the original too
The super duper is meant to be more in the style of a danish oil. It's useful for certain things, but the Odie's Universal oil is the way to go for most projects, especially if you're new to Odies.
@@Rocco.OdiesOil Hi Rocco. I'm building a piece out of both white and red oak. Which product would you suggest to darken and help even out the color difference between the two? Thanks.
I still like the original Odie's Oil. But Skylar, how do you produce so many videos so fast? Can't keep up.
:)
Skyler you look amazing and your project turned out beautiful . Is your router table home made ? Show us around your shop in another video.
Hi Grover. The router table is from Rockler. I use to have the bosh router table and hate it. Rockler table with lift is amazing
If you look really closely there is a workshop and some Odie's oil1
On poly finish u can get mat or semi gloss
I didnt know that. Thank you
You can rub it out together whatever sheen you want.
With most poly though you have to buy those as separate finishes. I'm sure there are some janky techniques people use to lower sheen by themselves as well though. The thing is, Odie's Oil can achieve any sheen or look you want. It's all in finish prep and technique. One bottle of Odie's Universal can achieve just about any style of finish you want. In conjunction with the rest of our product line the possibilities are truly endless.
You showed a photo of your kids in acadia, wondering what trail you were on?
That particular one was the Beehive
It’s about a 20 minute to the top hike
I started going to acadia in 1983, absolutely love it there
Those are bolt ons
