@johnnierox-boo

You can buy small tins, or even little test sachets (Amazon I think) which is what I started with.

I've used the Osmo Raw product to stop the wood taking an orange/yellow tint from oil.  Give it a coat of Raw, and *then* add the oil coats, and the original colour of the wood is protected.  You can get other Osmo products that deliberately do add a colour tint.

There's a good YT vid of someone testing the different types of finish (matt, satin, gloss, etc) which was pretty helpful.

TBH, I think each product will work if you persevere with it long enough to work out the best way of applying it, and remember that with Tru-Oil you do ABC, 3 times, whereas with Crimson you do XYZ once, and with Osmo you do it differently again!

@tv1010101 Thanks for that, I didn’t realise it was available in small amounts. I’ll go in search for the YT videos. Cheers.
