Key Characteristics from Ingredients

1. Natural Hardening

   • The tung oil hardens within the wood via oxidation, forming a durable, flexible layer.

     Deep Penetration

   • Being a pure oil, it penetrates porous surfaces to enhance wood color and highlight grain patterns.

     Water-Resistant Finish

   • Once fully cured, it creates a matte, water-resistant surface without forming a film on top.

     Food-Safe When Cured

   • The absence of additives makes it safe for kitchen surfaces like cutting boards and countertops once fully cured.
