Has anyone used it over Danish Oil? Or on very hard, minimally porous wood like Walnut?

I have used the minwax on walnut, and it works well. I have used many finishes over Watco Danish Oil and they all adhere and work fine. I can't say for sure, but if it was mine I would apply it over the Danish Oil confidently. Both finishes are oil based. I used the finish, by the way, on walnut bathroom cabinets I made - it holds up really well to moisture and they look great. Just make sure the Danish Oil has dried completely.

I wouldn't use tung oil. It's supposed to penetrate the wood fibers. With the milk paint, this won't happen. I'd suggest polyurethane. Wipe it on and buff with steel wool between coats. A final coat of spray-on polyurethane will give a nice finish.

I use the orange oil polish as that a polish when I dust. Which I do less of because it doesn't attract dust like sprays. The wood polish and conditioner I use occasionally to bring back wood that looks dry and dull. Such as an old rocker that had been stored in an attic.

I've only used tung oil on virgin wood. Oils will lift-up most paints so I don't recommend it.

Not sure what the purpose of the oil is. Is it for protection against rust or as a lubricant for sharpening. I suspect protection is the goal. If that is the case, then I think just about any lube that doesn't end up soaking your pocket should do the trick. One of my personal favorites for rust protection is a product called Boeshield T-90. Without a doubt, one of the best products on the market for that purpose. Do a web search and look for the Wood Magazine article. I think you'll like what you find.

No. It is not an oil but a liquid wax that penetrates and seals. ( I suspect it has some tung oil in the formula) It dries quite hard and resists water bit don't leave a wet sponge or soap dish with water residue in the same place or you will have some discoloration.Apply thinly, let set a bit, wipe off excess and repeat again in 16-24 hours until you like the level of sheen. It beautifully brings out any irridescent qualities in the grain. I've used in on Ikea butcher block counters with very good results. Does not pick up dust and grime as mineral oil can sometimes do.

That would be - and not be - nonsense. Have used it "straight" on solid teak furniture. No problems. However, if you want it to penetrate even further for some reason, you might consider using some turpentine, etc., as a "diluent." But that would depend on the viscosity of the oil, not the "density" of the teak. Other Answers are OK - depends on whether you need deep penetration for some reason or not.

I oil "bright work" on my boat, so I have experience with oil wood out doors. Pure tung is not good for this because it does not have a UV filter in it. Use teak oil instead that contains tung oil, it will have the UV protection. You will need 4 or 5 coats and then recoat every month or so.

I used it on white wax wood. There was a little white powder residue that wiped off easily.

I'm not sure I understand the question. It sounds like you are asking about frying. I don't use walnut oil for frying. I use it for salad dressings and ingredients in recipes.

We are using it on maple. There is some oiliness, but less so than mineral oil and it subsides.

Sounds like you need Howard's Restor-A-Finish not Craftsman Lemon oil...Howard's is a great product and you can get a finish to match your wood. Look online and you'll get info about this product. Lemon oil is just a polish - I don't know what results you will get with it on unfinished wood. I restore antiques but am not a professional.

We use ours for walnuts and it works great. The smaller one might work better for you.

I used this over a oil based product. The Generals Gel Stain, oil based. It worked very well on a bathroom vanity. I am referring the wood cabinetry portion, not the top counter. I use a polyacryllic top coat on some water based paints, if I am not using a wax finish. I use a lot of chalk paint to re- purpose furniture. I will be trying a new paint by Amy Howard, for that I will use her wax for my finish. Amy Howard wax dries to hard finish without a "melt factor".

I've never worked with Walnut before but I wouldn't suggest using these bits on a hardwood. I used them on pine and experienced some burning after long use. I have a Bosch 3/4 straight bit that I use for hardwoods.

yes , it will only help. Pressure treated wood today needs the help. Oil base would be better
