Cabinetmaker’s Steel Wool Set

Until September 8, 2026, we’re offering this set of three steel wool skeins at a 20% saving compared to buying them individually at our regular prices totalling $24.50. After this date, the set will not be available.

This is not your regular hardware-store variety steel wool. Made by a third-generation family business in Europe, this steel wool is specifically intended for use in restoration and the refinement of surface treatments on wood.

This set includes a 200g skein of each of the three grades: medium (00), fine (000) and extra-fine (0000). We also offer each grade separately in 200g skeins or 1kg rolls.

Two features make this type of steel wool a particularly valuable product for woodworking.

First, it is completely free from oil, so it will not mark wood, interact with finishes or leave a film on any surface. Second, it is manufactured in very long strands from top-grade steel and is highly resistant to crumbling. For example, you can use this steel wool for work on the lathe without it pulling apart in your hands.

Generally, the medium is used for stripping finishes, the fine for surface preparation, and the extra-fine for final rub-out of an oil- or wax-based finish.*

Highly recommended.

* Steel wool is NOT recommended for use with water-based finishes!
