How to maintain cherry fitout/identify what oils or waxes have been used?


Featured Posts

Changed boat again last October which has a lovely Barry Hawkins cherry fitout. The previous owner (3rd owner) said they had used Danish oil to maintain it but I'm not sure if just the panelling or framing as well. Quite honestly, much of the woodwork appears to have been polished (beeswax?)

 

Before I go storming in, I'd ideally like to get someone to have a look. Unfortunately Mr Hawkins or his son aren't contactable. The only other place I can think of that may have used more traditional methods is Bluehaven at Hillmorton but they could be a different outfit now.

 

Does anyone here know of anyone who knows their stuff and perhaps may be able to identify what finishes are there? I'd be happy to pay for them to come and have a look.

 

Thanks for reading
