    Tung vs teak vs lemon vs linseed oil

    So many choices...can someone please tell me the differences between all these wood oils and what they work best for?

    Anyone up for a small group buy of pure tung oil?

    This is the best deal I have found: http://antiquesupply.com/products/GOLDEN_S_PURE_TUNG_OIL_5_GL-3279-549.html I emailed them and it is about $23 to ship, no tax in NC, so it is slightly over $38 a gallon. Locally, it is about $55 a gallon plus tax. Any interest? EDIT - Closing thread...

    Tung oil, now what?

    I recently finished a coffee table as seen here: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f29/coffee-table-project-completed-30512/ with a couple of coats of tung oil. I like the look of it as is now, however I wonder if I should put something else on the top to make it more durable, just as a...

    High-gloss Tung oil vs Low-gloss & Poly

    I am fiishing my Teak picture frame with a couple of applications of Low-gloss Tung Oil then will follow with some oil base poly to get some gloss. I used this same method on some Walnut and really like the result. I am new to using Tung oil and I really like the way it brings out the grain...

    Tung oil / Stain / For Gunstock ????

    Hey Guys, i am finishing a gunstock that appears to be made out of a somewhat softer wood (unknown) such as maple. I am wanting to stain the wood a light tannish brown color and also wanting to seal the wood with a tung oil-mineral spirits combination to get the water resiliency and somewhat of...

    I've got a few food contact commissions and am looking for a good source for pure Tung Oil or Butcher Block Oil. I will most likely need a gallon, where do you guys buy yours? Thanks

    Tung Oil - Food safe?

    I've made a few bamboo kitchen utensils and plan to "field test" them to see if they hold up well enough to be worth selling cheap to friends, co-workers, etc... I'd like to put a least some type of finish on them to keep the grain sealed so it doesn't rise when washed. I have tung oil; is that...

    Boiled Linseed or Tung Oil?

    Trying to go natural and finish a red oak cigar type box. The grain is stunning and I won't let stain hide it. Much difference in either option? I have both BLO and Tung Oil (low gloss) on hand, but I've never used them except in finish repair. Any ideas in either direction? Thanks!

    Buffing a Tung Oil finish with steel wool????

    On several projects lately I have been using Behr Scandinavian Tung Oil finish. From my research it is a Tung oil, other oils and varnish blend. At $6.00 a quart it was a lot cheaper than mixing my own brew. It recommends buffing the last application with 4/0 steel wool. I have heard of applying...

    Non-turned bowl

    A segmented bowl in red oak finished with tung oil and wax. This was made by scrollsawing each layer in a nested pattern. The layers were then stacked by rotating each one slightly and relative to the previous layer. The layers were fixed with CA.
