Have used on caro walnut, american sycamore, cherry, birdseye maple, ash, white oak and african mahogany. The hydrophobic protection is great, it does add a subtle and silky sheen to most wood species but really added something special to walnut and maple. The depth of color, clarity and sheen really stood out on those woods compared to others. Will definitely keep using on furniture, it’s such a great system alongside hard wax oil finishes. Very happy

Ordered a slab of Mappa Burl, looked just like the photo. Shipping was quick and packaged great.

Walked in with an amazing consultative plan to pick a beautiful piece of wood and bring it to life with stain to perfectly match the solution I targeted.

I really enjoyed buying from this company. The customer service and delivery were exceptional.

Great product and even better customer service. I had a delivery of 9gals and one showed up damaged/ missing. The missing gallon was shipped ASAP. Thanks again RLS!

**Rustic Lumber Experience**

Our journey with rustic lumber began several years ago when we envisioned crafting our own table. Although that project is still on the horizon, it remains a goal.

In mid-December, we embarked on a remodeling venture, focusing on updating our fireplace. During this process, we decided to visit Rustic Lumber to explore their offerings. We were completely unprepared for the remarkable experience that awaited us. From the moment we entered the front office and met with David and Zach, we were impressed by their attentiveness and professionalism. They took the time to understand our vision and shared captivating stories about many of the unique pieces available in their collection.

We discovered the ideal mantel for our fireplace, and during our visit, we also learned about additional services they offer to assist with our ongoing home remodeling projects. Furthermore, they provided us with contacts for local craftsmen, enhancing our options for future work.

Though Louisville is a short drive away, the trip is undoubtedly worthwhile. While you’re there, be sure to explore their diverse selection of wood sourced from around the globe; it’s a fascinating opportunity to gain insight into the world of lumber.

Was looking to purchase some exotic wood. Saw the post come through Facebook for tthis species. Going to make some cutting boards with it. Very helpful staff. They know their stuff. No pressure sales.

I got a cookie slab on a big sale. I was disappointed in the the checking / cracks that were on it. I recommend when you order an expensive slab that you get the latest picture from them. I was not happy and the team at Rustic made it right. Overall the slab was thick and flat, overall a good experience in the end and stand up company. Much appeciated the commication.

Long time woodworker here.. have tried many ceramics from the "big" players.. Cam at Blacktail, Black Forrest, etc. and can say with confidence this is the best one yet. It goes on and wipes off with ease, and no overlapping streaks. The added water resistance is amazing, and clients love the silky feel it gives finished pieces; especially if you pair it with the Rustic Lumber furniture oil (which is also my go to finishing oil.) Ignore the review from Dale B... he obviously wasn't using it properly. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Very nice people to work with.

The clear oil works very well and is durable. It's one coat finish is a bit less shiny than the Rubio product but on a very good note is it dries much faster. Also it doesn't have that ridiculous fruity smell. A second coat bring the shine to the same level as two coats from the other product.
