Can you still get Hampshire Sheen products?
The full range is no longer available. I made the decision to close Hampshire Sheen in September 2025. Legislative requirements across the UK, the US, and the EU made it impossible to keep running as a one-person operation alongside the school. It was a hard decision, but the right one.
The gloss finishing wax has found a new home. Dan Smith and Katie at Taylor's Mirfield have relaunched it under the name True Gloss, and it is available from a range of UK suppliers. My Danish oil, sanding sealer, and the Intrinsic Color Collection are still in production and available at Yandles.
Michael Wilson on YouTube asked this one. Part of the Ask Martin series, where I answer your woodturning questions in 60 seconds or less.
Leave your question in the comments and I pick one or two each week.
