- My preference is danish oil, don't rush it and allow the time it states between coats.
- If you want to do a finish, I recommend a wipe-on product such as "wipe-on polyurethane" or "Danish oil".
- My typical finish for furniture is Danish oil followed up by satin polyurethane.
- I used Danish oil to preserve the color/grain. Still looking good 5 years later.
Cons
- I'd say avoid oils that need to be buffed, like danish oil or osmo oil.
- Danish oil will give a bit more protection but more work.
- Parent context: I thought Danish oil was blended with poly. Reply: Pure tung is good safe, Danish oil isn't

I totally disagree. The easiest way to finish It is with a penetrating oil… And Danish oil does not have to be buffed… And it will produce a soft satin sheen on its own as long as you stir up the flattener inside because it settles to the bottom… you would just flood the surface leave it on for a few minutes and then wipe it completely off and you can even use a dry brush to pull out the remaining oil in the crevices…

I wouldn’t use poly on that and instead use Tung or Danish oil. Both are food safe when cured.
