Used it for a large butcher block that has been maintained for years. Applied three layers of the oil. Pretty easy to work with. Will update the condition of the oil after months.

I hope it holds up.

works better than mineral oil

It worked great on some butcher block cutting boards that my husband made.

Would give 6 stars if I could. I have used a lot of Watco products in the past which all seem to be mostly solvent with a few additives. This one pours out like honey and gives a shiny gloss but not platicy finish. It is in a completely different league from big box store finishes.

I like that this product done actually what it claims. It brought out the grains in the wood projects that I was working on.

Super easy to apply, no harsh smell & brings out the details in your wood. A small amount goes a loooonnnggg way!

We purchase this oil thinking it would be great to help restore some dried out wood Furniture. I can't comment on its effectiveness however please be aware that it's stinks to high heaven, you should always wear a mask when using and it needs to be used in a very well ventilated location. Do not use inside your house. It states right on the label that the product can spontaneously combust (start a fire) when drying.DO NOT USE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!! IT CAN SUDDENLY CATCH IN FIRE WHEN DRYING.

In the picture, I have shown the before and after of Hope׳s Tung Oil on Maple 3/4 inch plywood.Firstly, very happy with the product. I should say, I was apprehensive about buying this product because there are some websites that say that Hopes isn’t 100% Tung oil, but after doing research this absolutely is 100% Tung oil (no added ingredients).I spent about 8 hours watching videos and reading blogs on how to apply it. In the end this is the method that worked for me. Hoping you find this useful.1. Sanded the plywood 120 grit, 220 grit and then 400 grit. I only used 60grit in areas where I had used putty (wood filler) or has a bad saw blade mark from inaccurate cutting.2. Mixed in a old glass jam jar (jelly jar for Americans) 50% Tung oil and 50% orange oil.3. Applied with a brush the mixture to create a thin glossy shinny layer all over. (I tried with a microfibrr cloth and it was getting caught on loose wood fibers in places, the brush was so much easier.4. After 5 minutes went back over the areas where it didn’t look glossy (the oil absorbs in the pores of the skin).5. Immediately after doing that I Went over it again to check for areas where it was drier.6. Then I set a timer for 15 minutes.7. Wipe off all the paint with paper towels. I tried Walmart paper towels and they were too rough, switched to bounty and I t was great.8. Waited 2 hours9. Repeated steps 1-7 (50% tung 50% orange). Benefit of doing this again with the 50% mixture is if you mossed a spot in the first application, you will get it in the second.10. Then I left the pieces pieces to dry for 12 hours before applying 100% Tung oil, using the same technique- rub it on, wait, check for dry patches, rub more on that, check for dry patches, rub more on that and then rub it off. The difference here is that I left the paint for 30 minutes before rubbing it off. Because I do liberally applied it, the oil was not going to dry and leave a gummy appearance, but it did give the work time to fully soak up the thick oil.Now here is the interesting part. I had run out of tung oil so I have some pieces that I waited 12 hours to stain and some where I waited 24 hours. Guess what, no difference.11. Now comes the waiting game for the piece to dry/cure fully.Note: I did not sand it with steel wool 0000 between coats. By just doing a good job sanding initially it doesn’t need it at all.Another tip: wash your hands with Dawn dish soap, your hands just come clean with ease (works much better than the hand soap)Also, the brush I used was just a new cheap small 2” Wooster $5 synthetic brush. Worked great. The angle bristles were really helpful at applying this (in photo).Another tip, make sure to have good lighting or flood lights so that you can easily see the sheen off the wood when you are painting.Hopefully you can see the natural light color and that tung oil produces and how the color adjusts slightly based on the lighting
