Steve Cook's Tung Oil

Description

Steve Cook’s Tung Oil Finish provides a durable and Food-Safe finish for wood surfaces such as kitchen utensils, cutting boards, bowls, etc. This drying oil finish penetrates the wood and forms a durable and water-resistant coating. It is available in a wipe-on liquid or easy-to-use spray. Steve Cook has been using this unique finish for over 10 years on various wooden kitchen wares, cutting boards, and countertops.

Tung oil is prevalent today because of two properties: first, it is a naturally derived substance. Second, after it cures (5 to 30 days, weather/temperature related), the result is a durable and easily repaired finish. When applied in many fine/thinner coats over wood, tung oil slowly cures to a matte/light satin look with a slight golden tint. Tung oil resists liquid water better than any other pure oil finish and does not darken noticeably with age. It is less susceptible to mold than linseed oil.
