I just finished constructing 3 sofa tables out of red oak. My wife will stain them. The question is - what to apply over the stain?
Several, several years ago I used Formby's tung oil which I really liked. So, I went to Menard's and bought a can of Minwax tung oil. But my wife said it was very thick, sticky, hard to wipe off. I liked the look of the finished product, but too hard to work with (really surprised here as my recollection of applying tung oil was one reason to choose it - went on, wiped, so easy). So, back to Menard's and can of Watco Teak Oil. Haven't tried it, yet, but not sure if it's what I want. What's the difference between teak oil, danish oil, tung oil? I also saw that Watco has stain/wiping oil combinations - are these good or bad?
Bottom line, I just like the look of the oil applied finish - any suggestions?
Thanks.
