OK gang,
stopped in at the local hardware store this AM, and 'while I was there' I thought I'd resupply the shop with a new can of Tung Oil, they had a smallish can of minwax brand, but I've used Watco in the past. Despite having 'finish hangover' whenever I did use it, I like the finish that it gave to the pieces that I used it on. One small issue however, Dwayne doesn't stock Watco Tung oil. He does carry Watco Teak oil however. I wasn't so 'curious' to just buy the can without doing a bit of research of course.
The label says 'for darker hardwoods, mahogany, rosewood, teak et al...
Hmmm. I mostly have lighter hardwoods, maple and cherry. I have a fair amount of chocolate and Mahagony I'm sure it would look fine on the cherry, but not sure about the maple. WIll it make the grain pop the same way that Tung oil does? agony, rosewood, teak et al...
Hmmm. I mostly have lighter hardwoods, maple and cherry. I have a fair amount of chocolate and Mahogany that I'm going to be putting on the lathe soon, and those would probably work well, and I'm sure it would look fine on the cherry, but not sure about the maple. I also wonder if it will make the grain pop the same way that Tung oil does? Anyone ever used Teak oil? Beuhler, anyone, anyone?
