Danish Oil

[Rye Oil Ltd]

Hi have recently started selling a range of wood oils, ie decking oil, tung oil and the like. I am in the middle of formulating a Danish oil which is a mix of tung oil and a high UV napthenic base oil.

It would be great if I can find 2 or 3 people who are familiar with other peoples Danish oil to test it and let me know how it performs. If you can let me know next week I will be blending it I can send a 5 litre sample out.

Thanks in advance

Jon

i only use danish oil and am happy to do a comparison for you if you like.

 

i've used rustins, liberon, suffolk pigments and blackfriars.

 

it goes on all my wooden bowls and i use it for my skittles and balls too.

Me to only ever use Danish oil as a finish, hope it smells good?

Currently using Rustins, but have tried Bird brand and Liberon

I am interested in the tung oil you produce.

 

Currently use tung and hard wax on my food safe and Danish on everything else.

Happy to give some feedback

Great there's my three people. If you PM me your address's I can send over some samples next week when I have it blended.

Thanks

Bestwood is the one I use most regularly, couple of gallons a month. Also used other brands. Unfortunately, don't have much access to arbtalk during the day as I'm out carving and covering them with danish oil.

Will be following this thread also interested in Danish oil.

Jon, I've just had a look through the Rye website at your Cedar/ deck oil. What makes it unsuitable for timber with tannins, and are you likely to do a Teak Oil equivalent?

 

We use Teak and Deck oils fairly indiscriminately, so I'm just wondering if I'm going to have issues in the future? Thanks, Will

Hi Will, it all comes down to the finish, our decking oil is mostly suitable for soft woods, so pine and cedar etc. When you apply it to darker hardwoods the finish can be affected and may produce a patches of darker finish. It still protects the wood and prevents discoloration by UV but I know for a fact it doesn't work on Iroko as I had that tested by a local fencing firm. I cannot say whether this is the case for other peoples oils just ours.

Hope this is of assistance.

Thanks

Jon
