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.

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.

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.

The real deal for sealing butcher block counter top. Darkens it a bit and look awesome. Do you research diluted oil and other items in this product and perfect for BB counter tops. mixed right out of the jug. This little bottle does large counter tops a few times. Worth what you pay for sure. last more than 1 year. Most products need to replied a few-times a years.

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.

1 quart did 5-6 coats on a 39"x74" butcher block, and one coat underside. The application is super easy and it looks awesome. Days later, it's still very stinky inside with strong citrus smell. Need more ventilation. A bit pricey, but worked great.

I needed to re-finish an oak bathroom vanity that was looking dreadful. Time was an issue, so I decided not to do the traditional routine of sanding, stain and topcoat. I searched online and learned about oil finishes and was intrigued. I chose this product due to it being of natural ingredients like Tung oil and non-toxic, that could be easily applied. My first impression while opening it was that it had a very powerful aroma. Not bad, just very, very strong. It has a good viscosity while pouring and mixes well with a consistent color. I applied it to the vanity with a bristle brush and rubbed it into the wood with fine steel wool. The natural turpentine in this mix did two good things, it lifted the remaining old color from the vanity and allowed for easy penetration of the mix into the wood. I left it to dry for 48 hours, then applied a second coat. The only problem encountered was the smell. The odor lingered for close to a month. As i said before, not a bad odor, just a very powerful one. If using indoors, I'd recommend applying this product more so in the warmer months. That way windows can be left open to fully ventilate the area. Aside from the smell, Real Milk Paint Dark Half is a great product to use. it is safe, natural and can be re-applied as needed. Pricing is fair for the amount that you get. I highly recommend.

I wanted something that would enhance the beautiful piece of butcher block that I used to make a custom coffee table. Found a few videos online recommending this stuff and decided to for for it. So happy with the results! Super easy to apply - just pour on and wipe it in. Smell isn't too bad even while working indoors, and dissipates fairly quickly. Was worried about the size of the bottle, but it goes a long way so I have enough leftover to do another small project or two. Highly recommend it.
