Treatment for oak table?

[DanIel Kellaway]

Hi,

 

Can anyone please recommend what treatment is needed for this oak table? I am looking to sand the top only but need to know what will match the rest of it.

 

Thanks

You won’t go far wrong with ozmo polyx oil.
To get everything to match exactly you would be better doing it all if it’s from a big supplier it’s probably got some sort of sprayed on varnish/polyurethane.
They age a bit over time so it will probably look a bit different.

Yeah same as if you want it all to be the same you need to sand all of it then osmo or teak oil ,osmo is bloody good stuff if a tad expensive

I tried sanding it and treating using tung oil. It has had a nice finish but requires regular treatment. Is osmo oil harder wearing with the same type of finish on oak?

Osmo is what I coated my kitchen worktop I installed in my house in Norway, very popular for that and you can get a more harder wearing version for floors I believe? 

 

It lasts quite a while but dont do what the folk renting the house off of me did and that was use it as a chopping board.  They cut right through to the wood and water etc got in. Its an easy fix though, sand back and recoat. As a coffee table the Osmo Hardwax would be perfect, it can take some abuse.

 

Still, my go-to is still Danish Oil. (I should get shares in that stuff.  )

Go for sanding with a smaller grit and then apply a single coat of wood preservative. Then apply 3-5 coat of Morrells Tung Oil. Avoid direct sunlight or heat from your oak table. Keep it moisturized and it will be as it is for a longer period. Cheers
