Dark Half, Dark Tung Oil and Orange Peel Oil for Wood Finishing, Cutting Boards, Butcher Blocks, Wood Floors, Clay, Stone, and Slate, Food Grade, 32 Ounces

Works amazing on knurled walnut countertops, walnut knife handles, zebra-wood, red oak, and Brazilian walnut. However I tried it on knurled maple and it hardly took at all, even with sanding and water brush application. Granadillo, and blood wood went well and gave it a richer color, poplar though did not seem to take well. Unfortunately I failed to keep pictures of the red oak and poplar. The product is made from citrus and tung oil and rated safe for food surfaces such as counters and cutting boards, and looks great on the walnut countertops. I love the citrus scent but it can be overpowering and I would recommend that you use the product with an open window or well vented area. One quart will go a long way, however pending on the porosity of the wood that may vary. On the countertops I used 4-5 coats and used about a gallon over all, re using the used lint free cloths on the consecutive coats helped. Knife handles made from knurled walnut and other woods worked very well and gave an almost iridescent tiger's eye appearance. In all I recommend the product if you dislike harsh chemicals, but some woods may have results that are less than desirable.

SO PLEASED, turned my raw pine project into a carmel-y glow with a “patina’d” look, and a slight sheen. Stunning and can’t stop being thankful for this miracle product. Rubbed one coat on with a rag and trusted the process. Certain parts of the pine that were more well-sanded took it noticeably darker, and if I wanted a darker coverage overall I realized I could have sanded more roughly. But as it was, I LOVED IT. Really took my yellowy raw pine and made it something special. Also I have never in my life stained anything of worked with wood, and this was super easy to work with. Will use again!

Love this stuff! This is the second butcher block counter we are finishing with this. It last a long time and is a gorgeous dark color to match our modern type farmhouse vibe. Smells good and easy to use.

I used this product as part of my original butcher block finish. It has held up amazingly well despite exposure to water from the sink, steam from the dishwasher, and our general kitchen chaos with young kids and such. We are at the six month mark so I added a coat today for maintenance. The scent is pleasant and I love being able to apply it mid-winter when windows can’t be opened. I ran the kitchen exhaust fan for about 20 minutes but the scent is light enough that I likely would not have needed to do even that. The maintenance coat took a few minutes to absorb into the surface, which tells me the original process worked exactly as it was intended to. I wiped off the excess, took the rag outside, and we will leave it alone for the day. I wish you could feel the texture of this butcher block with this finish. It is not shiny once dry/cured, but has a lovely matte finish with a really neat feel to it. Extremely easy to clean with a cloth wet with warm water and dish soap. Food spills do not penetrate nor stain nor stick to it. This product made it easy for me to have the wood counter top I wanted for our island. I couldn’t be happier.

Used this for sealing our butcher block countertops. This is really easy to apply and, really brings out the beauty in the wood. For the price you really can’t beat it. It goes a long way for sure. It really made a huge difference in the looks of our countertops, I’ll gladly reapply this once a year or when I need to do some touch up work.

This product is amazing. It is easy to apply, it has a citrus scent which is nice. Coms: if you have any wood glue areas, the wood glue will not absorb the oils.

I bought this to coat a 20×36 butcherblock pastry board. After watching many videos on what to use as a protectant I decided on this tung oil. It shipped to me quick. I set up the board and did 7 coats each one day apart. The half dark absorbed nicely into the butcher block, and it was dry to the touch the next day. After the 7th day I left it in the garage for another week because it was giving off a faint odor. Not really unpleasant, but i knew my wife wouldnt have any of that. That dissapated after a few days. I set it up on the counter where it will be a permanent fixture. It is a bit darker than I wanted, more of a dark doe. I was hoping for something a bit more tawny. It will work. It seems to do a good job protecting the butcher block. Water doesn't soak in. I'd do it again if needed.

Extremely impressed with this product! It was very easy to apply and though strong, smelled great! RM had great customer service and very quickly responded to a question I had regarding mixing the half dark tung with an oil based stain. I learned that dark tung maintains its durability when mixed with an oil based stain with 1 part stain and 4 parts tung oil. So happy I was able to achieve the color I was looking for on my Hevea butcher block.
