“I’ll never use anything else for interiors.”
“I’ve hand-built my accommodation here in the Snowy Mountains entirely from recycled materials over the past 35 years. In that time, I’ve tested every ‘natural’ wood finish I could find. About seven years ago, I started using Evolution Hardwax Oil — and I’ll never use anything else for interiors.
In these photos you can see our kitchen — the Australian Cedar cabinetry and Ironbark bridge-beam floors all finished with Evolution Classic. It’s incredibly easy to apply (I rub it on and off with a cloth), and the finish just gets more beautiful with each coat. Everyone who visits comments on how it looks — and even how it smells.
I’d never again buy toxic products. Everything about our place — from the timbers to the finishes — is about protecting this stunning environment for the generations who follow.”

“Evolution Satin… the icing.”
“With this project, I had no choice — my wife presented me with a pile of scrap timber that, I was told, was once the family cot. It had been thrown out in the weather years ago and only recently rediscovered as the need arose once again. There was no real option but to restore it.
The cot was first used in 1927 for my wife’s mother and her brother, then for her own family of four in 1951, ours of two in 1991, and now for our forthcoming grandchild in 2025.
Predominantly teak with dowel joints, several slats and rails needed replacing. Pink gum was milled for the new pieces, and epoxy was used to reinforce the timber and dowel joints. One mismatched front member with the brass slide was stained with a watered-down Feast Watson Jarrah stain to even out the colour.
Having had great success with Whittle Waxes products in the past, I chose Evolution Satin Hardwax Oil to give the cot a hard-wearing, attractive finish. It was a great choice — one I’ll always keep in my arsenal.I
t’s good to show that some things are far too precious to be considered firewood.”
