Thanks for this video. I have a walnut project in the works. I don't want to really change the natural color of the wood I just want to deepen and protect it. It was great to see how the "Dark Walnut" danish oil didn't really change the color much. I have seen images where putting the wood in the sun for a few hours after applying the danish oil really darkens it.

I used Watco Medium Walnut on poplar for trimming out windows. Let dry 72 hours and then three coats of gloss polyurethane and they came out really nice. I have Honey Oak Watco I’m thinking about using on a maple guitar neck

The golden oak is a "piss yellow" until it dries/cures and then it becomes a bit more muted. But this also depends on the shade of white your wood is. All these stains should dry a shade darker than when you apply them wet.

I made a pine farmhouse table and used the dark walnut after sanding to 220 grit. On my table the dark walnut danish oil was much darker, but more like a medium walnut, not at all like the sample shown in the video, I used 2 coats. It makes a difference if you sand rather than using a scrap piece of wood without sanding, and of course the wood you will be using. I learned the hard way to test on a piece of wood just like you are using before doing entire piece (first time finishing a table). Thanks for the video, I wish my table turned out a bit lighter like the sample you showed!

Ok, I'm not going crazy/got a bad batch, that Red Mahogony is definitely red wine/purple. Tried it on some scrap pine, and it looks terrible. I applied a lot more than the video, and it came out almost bruise purple; not very appealing. Don't think it's really meant for light woods. Of note, instructions have an optional step for pine specifically: wipe on some Natural color then wipe off immediately. Seems more like a hedge against blotching than anything else; like applying a pre-stain.

I have never used a pre-stain before applying danish oil and I would imagine it would interfere with the oil absorption process, though I do not have any references to back that up. I also don't believe pre-stains is normally used before dyes. Hopefully another viewer comes along with additional insight.

I haven't tried Danish Oil on on interior window wood, but it's probably worth trying to see if it gives you the effect and protection you are looking for. The nice thing about Danish is you can always apply a different topcoat if you need additional protection.

Hey Karim, you can use danish oil on just about any kind of wood, including pine. Sanding is not compulsory, but if you are looking for a smooth finish it is advised. Danish oil can definitely be used as a finish on indoor furniture.

@@FredPutterman Thanks for the reply, how would you recommend I proceed with my project (I have never done this before)? The wood is basically butcher block that is 8 feet long and 25 inches deep. I was thinking about brushing lacquer on it but some KZbin videos state that the size of wood I am using might be too big for this approach because lacquer dries so quickly. Seems like Danish oil is an easier application which is appealing to me, as being a rookie at this, would like to be done as quickly as possible lol. I would not be eating on this table.

I'm thinking of doing a traditional sanded in finish starting at 220 and working up to 600 then a few top coats of Tru oil buffing with xxxx steel wool for a satin finish. Not sure what color? Have you seen how the red mahogany comes out on walnut? Also thinking about doing a traditional french red stain I know it produces a classic reddish brown.

Hey Brian, I think both the walnut and natural danish finishes would look great on a walnut gun stock. They will both pop the grain, but the walnut danish will probably give even more contrast. Danish would probably hold up OK with light exposure to the elements, but most of my use has been for indoors, so I cant say firsthand. You might also check out Tru Oil. I know that is popular with gun stocks and guitar necks. The safest bet would be to test a few methods on off cuts of wood to see what works best. Cheers

The finish is very blotchy. You said you were going to flood the surface, then you proceeded to very lightly wipe it on. Is that why it is blotchy or is your results typical if Danish oil? I have never used this particular product. For the record...I am not implying you did it wrong. I saw this as more of a color demonstration than a how to video.

Hey Sgt, that's right this is less a demonstration of how to apply Danish oil than a color tint demonstration. For bet results follow the directions on the can. Like stains, the tinted Danish oils may cause a little blotching. To be fair, the tinted Danish oils are not necessarily meant for lighter colored wood like in this demonstration. The walnut tint is really meant to be applied to walnut wood and draw out more character than the natural tinted Danish oil. But that does not mean you can't use these products in creative ways or in combination with other products. Always test or experiment on off cuts for best results.
