A hard wearing, natural, solvent and additive free finish.

Tung Oil, or Chinese Wood Oil as it’s sometimes called, is a natural oil derived from the seed of the nut of the tung tree. 

Tung Oil air dries to form a tough, hard film that has a fairly strong amber tint. Because it doesn’t have any solvent or driers in it it can take a while to dry, and dependant on conditions this can be up to a week although 48 hours is more common. As with most finishes a thinner coat will dry quicker.

Normally applied with a brush or cloth.

Tung Oil gives a very hard-wearing finish but is not recommended for areas around sinks etc.
