OldWood and Maderas Barber reveal the secret to the best finishes in luthiery and woodworking

In the world of luthiery and woodworking finishes, choosing the right products is far from a minor detail—it’s the decisive step that defines the aesthetics, protection, and in some cases, even the sound of a piece. When it comes to materials that make a difference, OldWood, a brand of international renown, now features in the Maderas Barber catalog, offering luthiers and artisans specialized products for both traditional and modern finishes.

From color grounds to oil varnishes, every OldWood product combines tradition and modernity to enhance the natural beauty of wood and adapt to a wide range of projects, including bowed instruments, classical or acoustic guitars, and other high-precision woodworking projects.

Ebony is one of those high-demand woods, known for its beauty and rarity. Working with the most suitable products helps us achieve the best result, enhancing the desired tone or giving new life to each piece.

Products to protect and enhance wood

With OldWood, it’s not just about protecting the wood—it’s about enhancing it from the base up. Products like the Italian Golden Ground and Italian Golden Ground Brown A+B are color grounds designed to prepare wood and highlight its natural grain. Both are available in 30 ml and 60 ml sizes, ideal for bowed instruments as well as classical and acoustic guitars.

Additionally, the Doratura Minerale, another type of ground, is formulated with minerals that provide a warm and luminous base, perfect for projects seeking to highlight the wood's depth of color in a natural way.

Oil for Ebony is specially formulated to protect the ebony wood of fingerboards. It contains high quality natural oils that moisturise the wood and prolong its life. It is applied to high quality ebony pieces to protect them and improve their appearance, and also to previously stained pieces, helping to maintain the colour for longer.

And the Ebony Restorer is an innovative solution to improve the aesthetic appearance of lower-quality ebony. While ebony’s performance is not affected by its color, its appearance can greatly impact the perceived quality of the instrument or project. This product achieves a deep, uniform black, enhancing the final quality of the work and allowing for better utilization of available ebony. By maximizing its use, this process also contributes to more sustainable practices, preserving this valuable resource.

Nothing beats seeing results in action. To demonstrate how OldWood products transform wood, we have luthier María Machado showcasing their potential.

In the video, María walks through the step-by-step application and demonstrates how these products can transform an instrument or wood project, highlighting the natural grain and the warm tones achieved with OldWood grounds.
