Johngr Posted Thursday at 07:11 PM Share #1 Posted Thursday at 07:11 PM Hi, I did a simple test to compare the paints for Oak, Sapele and Walnut from the two companies. All samples were done with two coats of paint. The Ballistol sample is not a paint but an oil and I included it as there was an empty space!. As for Oak dye, in contrast to Occre, Artesania is a semi gloss varnish with dye. What is your opinion?

Gregory Posted Friday at 03:13 PM Share #4 Posted Friday at 03:13 PM I like the Artesania oak. It reminds me of a shade called “golden oak “. I’m not seeing much difference across the sapele’s and walnuts. I think it’s a matter of what you prefer. Because of the differences in display devices, we will all be seeing different shades. You will see as much variation across actual pieces of wood.
