HOPE'S 100% Pure Tung Oil, Food Safe, Premium Waterproof Natural Wood Finish and Sealer for Indoor and Outdoor Projects,16 Fl Oz, 1 Pack

Last year we replaced most of our old plastic cooking utensils with wood ones -- teak and acacia. These work well but the initial coating, if any, wears off pretty quickly. I did some research online and found that Tung Oil is one of the best choices for keeping wood utensils sealed. It is plant-based and not a petroleum product like mineral oil. It's even supposed to last longer.Whenever our wood utensils start to look dry or porous I wipe on this Tung Oil with a clean cloth and let it soak it. I typically wait an hour and then either wipe off the excess or put on another coat. Then the hard part is not using them for a week or so while the oil cures. I just leave them sitting on a shelf. We have pretty much two sets of wood utensils so I can use the second set while the first one dries. I don't notice any smell or stickiness when I follow this approach.This one bottle will last for years. One application seems to last a couple months for the amount of cooking we do.

My table turned out beautiful with using this much better than " teak oil finish" or any of the other stuff. It is straight oil. Just oil. Did 4 coats, no shiny look like a poly finish just that polished wood look. Will definitely use again, very easy to work with. No scent.

It is difficult to apply. I plan to thin with mineral spirits prior to applying my second coat, so far the application has turned out very nice and smooth!

easy to use.

I put this oil on unfinished wood products in thin coats, and after 4 thin ones the items that I coated had a nice shine. Very happy.

The bottle was bigger than I needed, but was the quality I wanted. It worked beautifully. Attached is a picture of a cutting board that I had sanded the previous finish off of. I sanded it until is was velvety smooth. Then I applied multiple coats of Hope's Tung Oil and it looks beautiful - just see for yourself! You need to allow a LOT of drying time between coats. I first had it drying in my garage, but then realized it was somewhat cool out there and it was taking a looooong time to dry. So, I brought it into my office and it went more quickly (uh... less long would be a better way to say that!). Anyway, if you are looking for a tung oil finish, this is a great product!

Used on a raised planter. Brushed on just fine, wiped after an hour and applied a 2nd coat. Went through the entire bottle. Time will tell if it prevents the wood from rotting

Used this to seal a bird bath. Thank you for the pure tongue oil that won’t hurt the birds.
