Circa 1850 Tung Oil is natural oil extracted from the nut of the oriental tung tree. Tung Oil has been used for centuries to protect and beautify wood. Circa 1850 Tung Oil penetrates deep into the pores of wood to strengthen the wood fibers. It provides the low-luster, hand-rubbed finish you'd expect from a master craftsman. Circa 1850 Tung Oil protects wood from accidental spills and water marks. Made by Swing Paints.

Smells a bit

Bottom Line:

Cleaned wooden cabinets in kitchen with tsp, touched up stain, then applied circa 1850 tung oil. Just wiped on...no need to empty cabinets, no paint brush , no sanding between coats....So easy and really superior results! I am planning to try on woodwork and more in the future...
Make sure you get the 100% tung oil...it may not be as "hardy" as some other finishes, but it sure is easy!

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I wanted to finish the mahogany of the interior of my boat with a soft, warm feel not the hard glossy look typical of gloss varnishes. Using this oil on bare wood surfaces has resulted in a wonderfully soft-to-the-touch, low sheen, moisture resistant finish as well as revealing the inherent beauty of the wood.
I have learned techniques that fill the pores easily and with each subsequent application the oil brings the wood to life.
