Rust-Oleum Watco Danish Oil Wood Finish - Low VOC, Pint, Natural Color

Annie: The media could not be loaded.  I am a pyrography artist. My most frequent pieces are charcuterie/serving boards, so I need a finish that will be durable but food safe. I’ve tried so many including mineral oil and walrus oil or wax and so far, my favorite is this. It’s a little temperamental and not as easy to work with as the others I mentioned, but it gives the richest finish and, in my opinion, the most amount of protection. Definitely follow the instructions and watch a video or two if you’ve never worked with it before.

A. Gift For YouA. Gift For You: This product applies well, I had the notion that after wiping a few times it'll start to get tacky and leave a blotch pattern on the wood...not in this case. It was extremely workable and the recommended application time were on-point. Dried in 2 days, with a smooth glossy finish (2 applications).

I chose Danish because I not only wanted protection but a nice look and feel after the oil cured. Many users of this oil described how the wood would turn a variation of color depending on the wood species. It also leaves a smoother feeling to the touch.

I only did one coating and applied a paste wax after.

My workbench is made up of 2x4 common wood, 3/4, 1/4, and 1/2 plywood.

I applied Danish to the workbench top (3/4 ply), the top of the drawer (1/4 ply), the 2x4 (leg and frame), and only some of the 1/2 ply as I found this species didn’t absorb as well.

The Danish Oil bought out a very nice color for the 3/4 and 1/4 as it darkened the wood in addition to the protection. The 2x4 appearance was that of a satin to semi-gloss look.

All wood to the touch is smooth and by applying only one coat and applying paste wax over it, didn’t leave it as an oily surface.

I followed the directions and applied in a well ventilated area outside in my driveway. I...
