Fresh Cut - Natural Oil End Grain Sealer by Broda

Broda Fresh Cut Natural Oil End Grain Sealer is a deep-penetrating, natural oil designed to protect the end grain of wood. Ideal for use on end cuts, rips, notches, timber joinery, log ends, CLT (cross-laminated timber), and more, this product helps preserve the integrity of wood in vulnerable areas.

Compatible with all Broda products, you can apply your final stain directly over the top without issue. The oil seals the ends of the wood, reducing the risk of checking and splitting, while still allowing the wood to breathe. Its low-VOC formula is resistant to fungi, water-repellent, and vapour-permeable, making it perfect for exterior and interior applications alike.
