I'm unsure why exactly, but I really do like this.

Looks like sperm... anyways, it would be better if the text not touching the 'liquid'.

Just awesome, but maybe a lighten wooden color would be better!

Yeah I really like this. Although some people might still think it's for people, not for wood.

Yes I might have some guest bashing at me for that - go ahead - I think it might happen if you see this short.

I like the idea. I distrust the physics: no cream blobs up at the end of a stream like that; and I think the copywriter should be ashamed or at least a little embarassed here."...protecting it for a long time from dust and woodworms"? For a start, it's 'woodworm', and 'for a long time' really they couldn't come up with a more solid sell than that? Though I can forgive the quirky 'beauty gesture' in the headline, the payoff looks like a google translation when google was drunk,.

This one is great, visually, in the germ of the idea, at least. The other one of the pair looks as if whatever inspiration wrought this ad was spent before it got to the second. Pity. The translation... ha ha, yeah, well.

The copy and the drop make an unintentional Christian cross.

Yeah. In the small thumbnail view, I assumed that was what it was intended to be.

Very nicely done on how they resemble taking care to woman. Nice approach.
