I'm renovating my 200yo farmhouse with the original yellow pine floors still installed. The light oil is more my style, and the lighter color will help reflect more light onto the darker 1st floor rooms with low ceilings. Thank you for the demo. I use Howard's feed n wax on my spinning wheel and Murphy's oil soap for a quick wash.
This was helpful and just what I needed to see. I have used the regular half and half on walnut butcher block. Love it! Just had a table made from reclaimed 100 year old wood, pine. The regular seems like it would be too light. I had not seen a side x side comparison on pine. Seeing this shows me I want the dark. Thanks!
Sorry to hear it, but you're not wrong. We've got a place in Vicksburg, MS. I'm not sure how far that is from you, but they sell a lot of T+G and Shiplap. MS Lumber & Supply.
A home in Coastal NC absolutely added little seashells in there as a treat for their grandchildren to find. We thought that was a really cool touch! We love seeing the creativity!
I believe the Danish Oil is more expensive and contains mineral spirits and natural tung oil. The Danish oil also has a bit more of a varnish than Tung Oil that will soak into the material.
The Real Milk Paint says essentially 2 -3 coats, depending on the details of your project. Here are their notes on the application: APPLICATION When applying Dark Half, here’s a handy thing to remember: Apply, Absorb, Repeat, or Remove Apply - Apply the Dark Half to the surface. Absorb - Let the oil absorb into the material. Repeat - Do what you did, apply the oil, and let it absorb. Remove - When the oil isn’t absorbing and pooling on the surface, remove it with a rag. Cure - Let the tung oil go through its natural curing process. For the best results, you want to saturate the material with the tung oil to the point where a majority of the surface is no longer absorbing the oil. This will look like puddles on the surface even after waiting 40 minutes. Just like a sponge, the wood (or other porous surfaces) will only absorb so much oil before it can’t anymore. This saturation is achieved by doing multiple coats. You can apply Dark Half with a brush, rag, roller, or even a pump sprayer depending on your project and needs. We recommend brushes and/or foam rollers for most projects. Apply a generous first coat. Let the tung oil absorb into the surface, waiting if needed, for up to 40 minutes. Apply another coat, let it absorb, and repeat the previous steps. Continue this process until you reach the desired amount of coats or have fully saturated the wood. You can tell the wood is saturated when the oil puddles on the surface and no longer absorbs oil across most of the character. To be sure, wait 40 minutes. If the oil is still puddling, then you will know the surface is saturated. Taking a clean rag or cloth, remove any excess tung oil that is puddling or pooling on the surface. Hang those oil-soaked rags outdoors to dry. DO NOT pile the rags or put them in a container. For the best finish, we recommend letting this application rest and settle overnight. The following day, apply one or two more coats of Dark Half to the surface of your project, following the same steps outlined above.

Thank you for making and sharing this! We love seeing the oils on the various types of Pine!
Of course, we love your finishing oils and think it really makes the natural grain shine. Feel free to share :)
@@lumberandsupply Thank you!
So nice that heart pine 😍 ...and tung oil seems to be the way to go
We love the Tung Oil! It really brings out the natural coloration! Thanks for checking out our video and taking the time to comment.

We bought Our from Y’all through Dawson’s.
Thank you so much for the support!
Could you fill in the knotholes with epoxy?

What is the difference between tung oil and Danish oil?
I believe the Danish Oil is more expensive and contains mineral spirits and natural tung oil. The Danish oil also has a bit more of a varnish than Tung Oil that will soak into the material.
can you use that on pine plywood?
Yes, any sort of porous surface. The oil soaks in.
@@lumberandsupply thanks
How many coats of oil to finish and how long will it last? Oh and how long to dry?
