Scherell’s SCHAFTOL Reddish Brown Wood Protection Oil is a premium wood-care oil for the maintenance, protection and colour enhancement of natural wooden surfaces.

This 50 ml bottle is supplied with a sponge for application, allowing the oil to be applied precisely, evenly and economically. The reddish brown tone helps refresh the appearance of suitable wood, deepen the colour and highlight the natural grain while protecting the surface against moisture, weathering influences, staining and mottled appearance.

Reddish Brown Finish

The reddish brown version of SCHAFTOL is intended to enhance warm, darker wooden tones. It can refresh tired-looking wood, intensify the natural grain and give suitable surfaces a well-maintained, traditional appearance.

The final colour result depends on the wood species, age, grain, absorbency and any previous surface treatment. Always test the oil first on a small hidden area before treating the full surface.

Protection for Natural Open-Pore Wood

Natural wood requires regular care to remain attractive and resistant to environmental stress. SCHAFTOL Wood Protection Oil is designed to conserve open-pore wood and protect it from dampness, changing weather conditions and surface discolouration.

The oil penetrates into suitable wooden surfaces rather than forming a thick lacquer-like coating. This helps preserve the natural look and feel of the wood while improving its resistance to moisture and everyday wear.

Developed for Wooden Gun Stocks

SCHAFTOL was created for the demanding protection and maintenance of wooden gun stocks used in hunting and shooting sports. Gun-stock wood is frequently exposed to moisture, temperature changes, hand contact and outdoor conditions, making regular care especially important.

Although originally developed for firearm woodwork, the oil can also be used on many other natural wooden surfaces where a reddish brown tone and protective oil finish are desired.

Sponge Applicator Included

The included sponge makes application simple and controlled. It helps distribute the oil evenly over the wood surface and allows the user to apply only the amount needed.

Using the sponge also helps reduce waste and supports a cleaner application process, particularly on shaped wooden surfaces such as gun stocks, handles, carved areas or curved furniture parts.

Multilingual Sticker

The product is supplied with a multilingual sticker in the following languages:

• German
• English
• French
• Spanish
• Russian

This makes the product suitable for international retail environments and helps customers access key product information in several languages.

Suitable Applications

• Wooden gun stocks
• Hunting and sporting firearm woodwork
• Natural wooden knife handles, where compatible
• Wooden tool handles
• Furniture made from suitable natural wood
• Antiques and decorative wooden items
• Open-pore wooden surfaces requiring colour refreshment
• Wooden accessories exposed to occasional outdoor conditions

Do not use on lacquered, sealed, laminated, painted or synthetic surfaces unless compatibility has been confirmed. Existing coatings may prevent absorption or cause uneven results.

How to Apply

1. Ensure the wood is clean, dry and free from dust, wax, grease and loose residues.
2. Shake the bottle if required and apply a small amount of oil to the included sponge.
3. Rub the oil evenly into the wood following the direction of the grain.
4. Allow the oil to penetrate according to the wood’s absorbency.
5. Remove any excess oil with a clean, lint-free cloth.
6. Allow the surface to dry fully before handling, storing or using the item.
7. Repeat the treatment if the wood is very dry or if a deeper finish is desired.

Several thin applications usually provide a more even and controlled result than one heavy application.
