How’s your desk holding up? Would you suggest applying the oil on the bottom of the wood? I have only a pint of danish oil and my butcher block weighs about 80 pounds so I’m looking at only doing the top… thanks!

[@DIYFotoWorks]

My desk is holding up well. Danish oil is a good protective finish for light use. I’m pretty easy on this desk, anything more serious I would topcoat. I’d try to do the bottom if possible, once the top has absorbed as much as possible, hopefully you have just enough for the bottom…Good Luck

The instructions state to apply it generously, leave it on for 15 minutes while keeping it "wet", then apply another coat, wait ANOTHER 15 minutes (30 mins total), and THEN wipe it off. Is this the procedure that you followed?

[@DIYFotoWorks]

Basically, but different surfaces will absorb more than others. Porous woods soak up more & also leach out more. As long as you let it soak in keep it wet and wipe off so it doesn’t remain tacky, it will be fine. I’ve never found the need for more than 2 coats. 😊

@@DIYFotoWorks I did this on a work bench I just made. I used a butcher block from lowes as the table top. Very hard wood. I followed the directions to a t. For some reason, I got a bunch of white spotting on the top of the finish. No idea why. We used the finish on the entire table, and the 2x4 and plywood for the bottom shelf were fine. Just the butcher block was spotty. I'm going to leave it since it's just a work bench. Was curious if you ever experienced this. Thanks for the response!

@@nickp3173 No I Haven't. I've used Danish Oil on dozens of projects including my own workbench, solid Oak top. My WorkBench was the only time I had an issue. It Took along time to leach out the finish. I had to rewipe for days until it finally stopped. Very Porous wood, but no white spots. Sorry, I can't imagine what that could be, maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

no sanding after last coat?

[@DIYFotoWorks]

No, I didn’t, but of course you could sand say 500-600 grit and continue, but I don’t see the need for office countertops, myself. They feel pretty smooth and are reasonably well protected, with little effort. 😊
