Everyone who has wooden furniture, kitchen worktops, wooden cutting boards and other wooden items knows, how important it is to keep them nice-looking. There are many oils that you can choose from, which can be confusing. What kind of wood oil suits my furniture best? Which one is the most universal? You should know that not every oil finish is intended for every type of wood and object. For example \u2013 kitchen utensils require neutral oil which can have contact with food. The best in this field would be mineral oil because it isn\u2019t toxic, but safe for food and odorless. You can use it on cutting boards, bowls, spoons and other utensils made out of wood, that you own. If you are interested in buying an oil finish for your furniture you should rather invest in linseed oil, tung oil, or Danish oil. Both, linseed and tung oils, have been used for many years. They are non-toxic, eco-friendly, protect wood from scratches, and give a beautiful vibrant color. Danish oil is a common type of wood oil among woodworkers. It can be applied on many objects, it dries faster than linseed oil, and it delivers a lustrous finish. There are also different types of wood oils like teak or walnut oils, so you should always read product descriptions before you apply a layer on your worktop or table. Pay attention to the finish that is delivered by your wood oil \u2013 some oil finishes give mat finishes, but others can deliver a more lustrous or shiny effect. Usually you need to apply 3-4 coatings of oil. When you notice, that the wood doesn\u2019t absorb oil finish anymore, that means that you should leave it to dry. Depending on the wood oil type, it can take around 24 to 48 hours, but sometimes your furniture can dry for even up to 30 days, before the wood oil penetrates the wood fiber. Another thing that affects the time of drying is the type of wood. If the wood you apply oil on is raw, it takes less time to fully dry. If the wood was cured by some sort of oil before, you need to be patient and wait longer.
