  6. Boiled drys quicker as its got drying agents in raw doesn't and takes a few days. le tonkinois varnish is all natural and can take boiling hot water on it, but i find the finish seems abit gritty. Pure tung oil. Extracted from the nut of the china wood tree. Used as a base in many blended finishes. Difficult to apply, requires many coats, good water-resistance. Raw linseed oil.Pressed from flax seeds. Not to be confused with boiled linseed, which contains metallic driers. Listed as a food additive by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Very long curing time, good looks, low water-resistance, frequent reapplication. Mineral oil.Although derived from petroleum, it is colorless, odorless, tasteless and entirely inert. Sold as a laxative in drug stores and as a wood finish in hardware and kitchen-supply stores. Simple to apply, low water resistance, frequent reapplication. Walnut oil.Pressed from the nuts of the walnut tree. Sold as a salad oil in health food stores and in large grocery stores. Walnut oil dries and won't go rancid. Easy to apply, frequent reapplication. Beeswax. Can be mixed with an oil to create a better-smelling, slightly more water repellent finish. Carnauba wax.Derived from the Brazilian palm tree. Harder than beeswax and more water-resistant. Can be used straight on woodenware as a light protective coating or a topcoat polish. Shellac.A secretion from the lac bug. Harvested in India. Super blond shellac in flake form is the most water resistant variety. A film-forming finish.
