Danish Oil is a good choice for any wood work where you want a satin finishTwo or three coats is typical for most applicationsUse on kitchenware, cutting boards, and children's furniture, since it is food safe and non-toxicZero VOC's, non-toxic, safe for skin contact, non-flammableThe coverage is 600 sq. ft./gallon, very economical
My favorites are:
Mahoney's walnut oil: https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Walnut-Oil-Mahoneys-Finishes/dp/B001F7JUDK
Tried and True Danish oil: https://www.amazon.com/Tried-True-Wood-Finish-Danish/dp/B0155AUTG4
The Mahoney's is the quicker of the two- slop on as much as the wood will take and wipe off. My production items like my cherry plates get a coat of it followed by beeswax.
The Tried and True is a little fussier but not much- it just needs to be applied a lot thinner than you're used to applying and ideally in three coats each a day apart, but damn does it ever look nice and it just gets better with age and stands up to lots of washing (moreso than the Mahoney oil).
I tried the General Wood Bowl/Salad Bowl finish once and hated it- it left a film finish, but not enough of one to be impressive, started to give the work that tacky fake plastic sheen I don't like. And, it's not truly food safe (unless you subscribe to the "all wood finishes are food safe" hypothesis). It has solvents and driers. The two that I linked are so non-toxic you could eat them in their liquid form.
I am looking for a natural oil finish and I want to avoid toxic substances and fumes. I tried food grade white mineral oil but the surface is still greasy a week later (its possible i did not put it on correctly). I saw some forum posts that people claimed its because mineral oil is a non-drying oil and it will always feel that way. So far this is what I have come up with Tried & True Oil and Walrus Oil has anyone used either of these or have other suggestions?
