Danish oil is unique because its high linseed oil content and its colorant (gilsonite)
allow it to penetrate and color unlike pigmented stains. Gilsonite is a mined
ore, which comes only in a black walnut color. It is different from pigments, which come from earth clays. Danish oil's best
use is on oak where the walnut colors are carried deep into the grain and
produce a look that pigments cannot match. |
|
The linseed oil in Danish oil dries
to a durable finish and can be used as a one-can finish; more
coats help build durability. However, for more protection,
Danish oil can be top coated with Prelude or any other high
quality oil based urethane finish. These pure urethanes
penetrate and preserve the natural look as well producing a much
harder finish. Danish Oil is available in the following colors: Natural, Oak,
Light, Medium, and Dark.
