What is Dark Tung Oil?
Dark Tung Oil is a premium wood finish designed to give your projects a rich, aged appearance while providing the same deep-penetrating protection as our Pure Tung Oil. By combining a Pure Tung Oil base with a naturally occurring, non-toxic resinous hydrocarbon, this oil enhances the wood's grain and deepens its color without the need for artificial stains or glossy topcoats.
The finish cures through oxidation, moving deep into the wood fibers to create a flexible, water-repellent barrier. It’s the perfect choice for woodworkers looking to achieve an antique, matte look that emphasizes the wood’s natural character while ensuring long-lasting durability against moisture and wear.
Key Benefits:
- Rich, Aged Look: Naturally darkens the wood and enhances grain depth for a beautiful, matte finish.
- Safe & Non-Toxic: Uses a resinous hydrocarbon that is non-carcinogenic and PCB-free.
- Durable Protection: Once cured, it resists water and abrasion without cracking or peeling.
Deep Penetration: Reinforces the wood from within rather than sitting on the surface like a plastic film.
