OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE - raw wood effect oil for naturally light furniture and stairs
Inspired by Scandinavian interior design, OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE preserves the natural appearance of light-colored woods. The surface looks untreated and resembles freshly sanded wood in both appearance and feel. Even on deeply brushed and textured oak, the pores are barely emphasized with a whitish tint. This creates a calm, natural raw wood look without a limed effect.
Which woods and applications is OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE suitable for?
Whether it is a dining table, stair tread, or favorite piece of furniture, this water-based raw wood effect oil is suitable for solid wood furniture, tabletops, stair treads, wall panels, and moldings in residential interiors. It is suitable for light-colored woods such as maple, oak, ash, spruce, and fir. The wood should be untreated or completely sanded down. For wood floors, use OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil CLASSIC.
How does OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE change the appearance and feel of the wood?
Do you like wood just the way it is? Scandic-Oil only slightly enhances the natural wood tone and gives the surface an untreated appearance. The wood structure remains perceptible to the touch. With OLI NATURA® Refresher, you can refresh the oiled surface as needed.
Tip: Test the oil with a 20 ml sampler on a leftover piece of your wood. Sand it in the same way as the final surface and only assess the result after it has dried completely.
Would you like to emphasize the natural wood tone more strongly? OLI NATURA® hardwax oil gives the wood a richer color and highlights the grain.
How easy is it to apply OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE?
Apply two coats and finish in one day: Apply Scandic-Oil with a brush, foam roller, or by spraying to freshly sanded, absorbent wood. You can apply a second coat after approximately two hours. One liter covers approximately 8–12.5 m² for two coats, depending on the type of wood, sanding, and absorbency. You can find out how to perform intermediate sanding and polishing in the Application tab.
When is OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE with Hardener recommended?
On tabletops and wherever grease splashes are to be expected, use Scandic-Oil with OLI NATURA® H2O-Hardener. We also recommend adding Hardener for stair treads. Mix ten parts oil with one part Hardener. Hardener supports curing and can make the surface more resistant to water, grease, and other everyday stresses.

Apply OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE
Preparation: The wood must be clean, dry, and absorbent. Remove old film-forming coatings. Sand stairs with P120–150, and furniture no finer than P240 . Then thoroughly remove all dust. Wood moisture: 8–12 %.
Optional pretreatment: If needed, pretreat with OLI NATURA® PreOilCleaner . Follow the application instructions. Allow to dry completely before oiling, smooth any raised wood fibers if necessary, and remove dust again.
Tip: Apply a test coat to similarly prepared wood. The surface initially appears darker when wet. Assess the raw wood effect only after complete drying.
Optional hardener addition: For table tops and surfaces expected to be exposed to grease, always use OLI NATURA® H2O-Hardener ; recommended for stair treads. Shortly before use, thoroughly mix 10 parts oil with 1 part hardener and apply immediately. Pot life: 2–3 hours. Do not use thereafter. Do not pour mixed material back into the original container.
Brushing and rolling
- Stir or shake the oil thoroughly.
- Apply an even, generous coat with a flat brush or foam roller in the direction of the grain.
- Allow the first coat to dry for approx. 2 hours .
- If necessary, lightly sand the surface with P220–280 between coats and thoroughly remove all dust.
- Apply the second coat evenly and generously. For a more matte finish, polish out the excess while still wet - ideally with a white pad. This helps prevent visible layers and streaks.

How do you care for and clean surfaces treated with OLI NATURA® Scandic-Oil FOR FURNITURE?
Oiled wood surfaces are easy to care for and easy to repair. The surface can be refreshed by re-oiling. Small scratches can usually be sanded locally and re-oiled - without treating the entire surface again.
Cleaning: Protect from water until fully cured and do not clean with moisture. Dust furniture dry; vacuum or sweep stairs. If needed, clean slightly damp, not wet with OLI NATURA® wood soap . Avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
Everyday protection: Wipe up spilled liquids immediately and avoid standing moisture. Place hot objects on coasters.
Initial care and refreshing: After drying overnight initial care with OLI NATURA® Refresher is possible. If water repellency decreases later or the wood appears dry and dull, refresh the surface with it. Apply thinly to the clean, dry surface.
Repair: Lightly sand small scratches and worn areas locally and re-oil with the same oil used for the initial treatment .

What is the difference between OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »Classic« and »For Furniture«?
Both are based on the same formulation. »Classic« is more fluid, making it ideal for roller application on floors (parquet, floorboards), and it has also proven effective for treating wall panels. »For Furniture« is more viscous and optimized for furniture and stairs, making it well suited for brush and spray application with good staying power on vertical surfaces.
Is OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil »For Furniture« new?
Only the viscosity is new, enabling easier spreading and better staying power. The product itself has been available since 2017, primarily for roller applications in workshops and industry.
Are samples available for testing?
Yes, sample bottles can be requested from OLI-NATURA to test the finish.
Which types of wood is OLI-NATURA Scandic-Oil suitable for?
Scandic-Oil is especially ideal for light-colored woods such as oak, ash, silver fir, or spruce. It creates the raw wood effect - the wood looks untreated and yellows less. Scandic-Oil is also recommended for walnut if you want to preserve the natural wood color with as little enhancement as possible.
How is the raw wood effect created?
The oil is a water-based emulsion made from natural oils with a low white content. It minimizes color enhancement and yellowing, making the wood look as it does in its raw state.
Does Scandic-Oil change the color of the wood?
It barely intensifies or changes the color of light-colored woods. A slight deepening appears while wet but disappears again as it dries.
How much coverage does Scandic-Oil provide?
Approx. 40–80 g/m² per coat. Two coats are recommended. Coverage per liter: 12–25 m² (1 coat) or 6–12 m² (2 coats). This depends on the type of wood, sanding, and absorbency.
What should be considered during application?
Prepare the surfaces cleanly and carefully. Do not apply the oil too thickly or thinly. With »For Furniture«, sand by hand between coats to avoid sanding through. Since the oil sets quickly, pad the second coat directly while the first is still wet. Remove excess and allow sufficient curing time.
Can Scandic-Oil be used with hardener?
Yes. Scandic-Oil can be used with OLI-NATURA H2O-Hardener in a mixing ratio of 10:1. This shortens the curing time and increases the surface's resistance.
Why does the color deepen during application?
Due to the water content, the wood appears darker while wet. This effect disappears as it dries.
Why intermediate sanding?
The water content causes the wood fibers to rise. Intermediate sanding improves the final result.
How long does Scandic-Oil take to dry?
Dust-dry after approx. 1 hour; fully cured after about 5 days. Depending on the temperature, humidity, and application thickness.
Is the product subject to labeling requirements?
No. It is not classified as hazardous, does not require GHS pictograms or signal words, and is not classified as dangerous goods.
Does Scandic-Oil contain oximes or cobalt?
No. It is cobalt- and oxime-free. It complies with DIN EN 71-3 (toy safety) and DIN 53160 (saliva- and perspiration-resistant). Approved by the DIBt, Giscode Ö10+, and listed in the Baubook as an ecological building product.
Is Scandic-Oil suitable for surfaces that come into contact with food?
Yes. It complies with the LFGB, DIN 53160 (saliva- and perspiration-resistant), and DIN EN 71-3. Once cured, it is safe for kitchen surfaces and toys.
Does Scandic-Oil have a strong odor?
It has a very mild odor. The odor during oxidation is harmless and disappears after curing.
Is there a risk of spontaneous combustion with Scandic-Oil?
No. As a water-based oil, it poses no risk of spontaneous combustion for rags, pads, or cloths.
How should a surface treated with Scandic-Oil be maintained?
Wipe off dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Vacuum or sweep floors regularly. For cleaning, use OLI-NAT
