Features
- SUPERIOR PENETRATION & FAST CURING: Tried & True Danish Oil is designed for faster absorption and curing than typical natural oil finishes . This makes it an excellent primer for the other T&T finishes, particularly on highly absorbent wood.
- VERSATILE APPLICATIONS: In addition to traditional wood finishing technique, this linseed oil for wood can be used to mix custom stains, as a primer & grain enhancer prior to epoxy or oil-based film finishes, and other uses for pure linseed oil.
- PROFESSIONAL QUALITY: This linseed oil for wood is commonly used by woodworking professionals for application to bare wood or over an already-stained piece.
- FOOD SAFE & NON TOXIC: The Danish Oil is ideal for rustic pieces, cabinets, butcher block, and priming open pored woods. 100% safe for food but recommend to using Original Wood Finish as a top-coat for moisture resistance on food-contact items
- EASY APPLICATION: Sand the piece to desired level & apply very thin coat with a lint-free cloth at room temperature. Allow to penetrate for just 5 minutes, buff dry and cure for a minimum of 8 hours before burnishing with 4/0 steel wool, repeat
Description
Tried & True was first conceived around 1990 when a master cabinet maker in upstate New York became concerned over the amount of toxins that he was exposed to on a daily basis and thought, "How did people create pieces that last hundreds of years in a time when todays solvents and chemicals were unknown?" This question led to years of research centered around Shaker and early American woodworking and finishing, resulting in a line of products based on natural linseed (flax) oil and additives (beeswax, pine resin) that would have been available on an early American frontier with no modern processing. Every Tried & True product is made from 100% renewable ingredients and free from all solvents, has 0 VOCs, no synthetic compounds, no toxic heavy metal drying agents or anything else that could be harmful to humans, pets or planet.

UPDATE: Back here to edit my review because I'm thoroughly pleased with this product. It has turned out to be much more convenient and pleasant to use for my particular purpose than I imagined it would be. Because it goes on thin and in a very controlled way, I will be able to apply it in-situ inside our camper without having to remove the bench tops in need of treatment. Since I'm not going for a high-end furniture finish, I don't need to do all the prep work recommended (i.e. sanding to fine grit). I've done my first application now of T&T Danish Oil to wood that was sanded with 120 grit, i.e. it has a medium-fine prep finish. I've been able to do my application to smaller pieces inside the nice, warm house. Because I use so little, the smell, which is pleasant to me, is not overwhelming. And because I can use such a small applicator (folded cheesecloth as in the T&T demo video), there's no danger of splashing and spillage as there might be from the copious application method recommended for Brand X. One caution: at high altitude, when I removed the T&T can lid clips, the top popped off and a few drips did go flying. They were easily wiped up. T&T Danish Oil dries to a soft sheen--at least it has so far, after coat #1. The between-coat dry time of 8 hours is not unduly long. I can apply it in the morning; another coat in the late afternoon or evening; and a final 3rd coat the next morning. Then just set aside and forget for three days and I'm done. Using 0000 steel wool between coats does generate some iron filing dust, which is easily trapped in a towel or newspaper below my work. I love the non-toxic, beautiful finish T&T Danish Oil leaves; love its ease of use; love the way it buffs dry just 5 minutes after application (followed by 8 hour drying time and another steel wool buff prior to next coat). This is a great product for use in winter since I don't need a heated shop, just a little room in the house, a drop cloth and a comfortable work surface. No excessive quantity of product is needed as with Brand X, and there are no toxic fumes either. We'll sleep better in our little RV knowing we've got such a nice, natural finish under our mattresses. I do wish T&T would re-do its product application instructions video to address the problems I had with it as listed below. Original Review Below (since retracted above): After I'd researched and settled on a different, well-known Danish Oil brand for my project, my husband, doing a hasty search search of his own, suggested looking at this brand instead. When I looked it up and saw the rave reviews I thought, OK, fine, if you don't mind the price then we'll use this one if that's what you want. Unfortunately, after purchasing this Tried and True Danish Oil and then (cart before the horse) delving more deeply into the application instructions than what is visible here and on the can, I realized T&T's Danish Oil is clearly overkill for our needs. Unfortunately nowhere on this page that I've found mentions this is a non-returnable product due to flammability. So now I will have to use this product which takes twice as long and MANY more steps involving multiple applications, sanding, steel-wool buffing and double the curing time between coats, AND costs way more than I'd intended to pay. It also must be applied so incredibly thin that I'll be left with a nearly full can and nowhere to use it. Highly suggest you watch the lengthy YouTube video application instructions. I found it hard to follow as half way thru the project the amateur presenter--who does not enunciate clearly, causing the closed captions to be gibberish--switches to using a different T&T finish involving even longer curing times. This "Original" T&T finish is apparently necessary to purchase and apply *in addition* to this one if any water resistancy is desired. There is a written synopsis of this same video on the Tried & True page, so I guess this is their "official" instructional video. It took me way too much time today to watch and re-watch it while making my own outline (twice) before I sorted out that the presenter was talking about two different T&T products, each with different properties and curing times. My need is to just get a minimal finish onto a simple set of plywood bench lids that serve to support RV mattresses and are hidden from view except when accessing bench contents. Somehow I got side-tracked, and before I knew it I was "sold" on this T&T product based on its rave Amazon reviews. For what I need tho, the big-box Danish Oil brand would have been perfect. It can be applied in ONE step. consisting of a good 15-minute rubbing/soaking that is then wiped off and allowed to cure. There is an excellent independently-made instructional video on it in which the presenter gives clear, well-enunciated, simple instructions as he demonstrates the process. Cure time and project completion time with the big box brand over the T&T is halved. I have no complaints or any experience of the quality of this Tried & True Danish Oil product and have no reason to doubt it is excellent. It may be perfect for many creators. For the price, however, given my simple needs and the extended amount of time I'll now have to invest to properly apply a minimal two coats without missing any of the steps, it's just not worth the money. Unfortunately, however, even tho my can is brand-new and unopened, I'm stuck with it because of the no-return policy.

To preface this: I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and have never been moved to write a product review before. Finishing used to be my least favorite part of woodworking. You have to don gloves, put on your respirator, make sure the dust in the shop has settled, have a well-ventilated area, blah blah blah. It's uncomfortable. It's dirty; the more projects I complete the more I worry about my cumulative exposure to all the toxic volatile compounds in finishes like polyurethane and other "danish oils." It stinks. Not so with this product. No gloves, no respirator, no worries. I can finish small projects at my kitchen table without worrying about stinking up the house or exposing anyone to harsh chemicals. I don't have to burn through multiple pairs of rubber gloves to get a wipe on finish. I've finished two projects with it now and it's easy to apply (directions on the can are spot on), it makes the wood look beautiful, smells good, and cleanup is the easiest of any finish I've used except mineral oil. The smell is like a nutty cooking oil. Time will tell how durable it is, but I would still use poly (or maybe try T&T's varnish oil) for high-traffic items like table tops. If I do have to reapply sometime down the road, that's fine by me. In fact, I would enjoy it. It seems expensive but you get what you pay for here. A little goes a looooong way; this is 100% oil unlike Watco Danish oil. I would pay more just for the experience I get from using it versus poly or even Watco. Tried and True's products are so much more environmentally friendly--a concern that should be on the minds of woodworkers in particular.

After a LOT of research and experimentation, I decided on Danish oil for my custom built redwood shelves. I absolutely LOVE the finish from Tried and True: the color richly reveals the beautiful grain from the redwood. The recipe for this particular Danish oil apparently goes back to the 18th century and hasn't changed much; a nice aspect too is that it is food safe. It even has a pleasant smell (for me, anyway: I'm weird:-). This Danish oil is easy to apply, once you've prepped your wood effectively. Carefully watch how much you apply: for example, if after 24 hours your wood is still damp, you've applied more than you need. A little goes a long way. My redwood shelves took about two to three coats, depending on the lumber: no more than that. It's also important to determine what it will do to your chosen wood: my redwood looks fantastic, but I cannot speak to other darker wood types and what the finish will look like. I'd strongly recommend ensuring you have some test pieces of your lumber (which is a good idea anyway). All in all, an excellent choice: I'd highly recommend Tried and True's Danish Oil.

Opted to use this as an alternative to Watco Danish Oil, which I'd been using for a few months. Worked through 2 projects with it so far - a small cherry slab table and a black walnut slab end table. Was comparable in color and end result to Watco. Compliments the wood nicely without notable color change. The biggest difference is the absence of harsh fumes and longer drying times. Appreciate not having to worry about gloves or a P-95 mask. Smell is mild and similar to a cooking oil. Application is easy with a small rag. 8 hours between coats adds a day or 2 onto my projects. No shortage of time right now with COVID-19, so that hasn't been an issue. Added wipe on polyurethane after 72 hours for added water resistance and durability, so cannot speak to how it holds up on its own. Glad I gave it a try. Will use in favor of more harsh options whenever time is not a big factor.
