While Hope's brand is performing well, this is really an endorsement for any high-purity tung oil as a finish on open-pore bare wood. I've used it on oak recently and on teak as long ago as 35 years. It forms a hard, long-lasting finish that resides both in and on the surface, especially when more than one coat is applied. Applying it is not the least bit fussy; spread it evenly with an absorbent pad and wipe off whatever isn't absorbed after an hour or so. When I've prepped the surface with 240-grit Abranet, the finish seems to glow with a sheen but not a shine. Tung oil adds a bit of golden color that darkens with additional coats but not with age. The 35-year-oid teak, used indoors, has not darkened at all. I think the appearance of this finish could hardly be more pleasing. All this said, I wouldn't expect tung oil to perform well on dense wood like maple that hasn't the capacity to absorb the oil into the surface. Since tung oil cures by polymerizing, it doesn't age well after its container has been opened. Use it soon after opening or decant unused oil into a smaller container. It has only a very light smell I find quite pleasant. It dissipates quickly with curing. I have no reservation about applying tung oil in a closed room.
My first time using this product. I bought a butcher block counter top and this product made it look great. I need to buy another one for some more cabinets and I know it will look just as goood as the firstone.
I put this oil on unfinished wood products in thin coats, and after 4 thin ones the items that I coated had a nice shine. Very happy.
My table turned out beautiful with using this much better than " teak oil finish" or any of the other stuff. It is straight oil. Just oil. Did 4 coats, no shiny look like a poly finish just that polished wood look. Will definitely use again, very easy to work with. No scent.
Worked well. Just as described. Use in well ventilated area.
