This finish soaks deep into wood pores to provide protection from the inside out. Because it hardens inside the wood, it will never chip, peel or wear away. Made from a unique blend of penetrating oil and varnish that stains, seals and protects in one easy step, it enhances the natural look and feel of the wood, and creates the rich, warm glow of a hand-rubbed finish. Great for furniture, trim, molding or any other bare wood interior surface. Simply wipe on with a brush or cloth. Quart.
- Use only on dry wood from which all previous coatings have been removed.
- Flood surface using a brush or cloth, applying additional finish to areas that absorb all of the liquid.
- Allow to penetrate for 30 minutes.
- Reapply, allowing an additional 15 minutes of penetration.
- Wipe surface completely dry.
- Ready for use in 8-10 hours.
- If a topcoat such as polyurethane is desired, allow oil to dry 72 hours before applying.
- Coverage: 100-150 sq. ft. per quart.
- Clean up with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
- COMBUSTIBLE! Dispose of all rags according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Please note that this item can only be shipped by UPS Ground to addresses within the continental United States.

A fellow woodworker told me about WATCO Danish Oil and all of its benefits. I gave it a shot on my first night stand project with cherry. I was really happy with how easy it was to apply and manage. I applied a total of 4 coats, allowed each to dry with #0000 steel wool in between coats. Really great non-streak, non-blotchy finish. The photo above is the final product. It should also be stated that I applied a coat of satin poly, followed by a light misting of semi-gloss poly spray. I then finished it off with paste wax. I'm new at this game and probably could have gotten away with a less-intensive series of coats after the Danish Oil, but was really pleased with the end result. I would certainly recommend Danish Oil to anyone looking for an easy, mess-free, hassle-free finish.

On this cedar chest I used a mixture of one part natural danish oil, one part tung oil, and one part polyurethane. I applied 2 coats. By adding poly and tung oil it gives it a gloss. I have used this same ratio with cherry danish on cherry wood and walnut danish oil on oak and walnut.

I used this product back in 1970 at my new house. When I left 11 years later my woodwork looked just as good as it did when I put it on. It is great and always looks good. The best is that you don't have to put a finish over it. Just a good paste wax will do if you want.

This has a mellow tone and need not be polyurethaned. Better than a stain and it can be sealed. Already have another customer wanting it also.

I am refinishing an antique vanity. I stripped all the layers of old paint off and went to find some Watco in town here - couldn't find the correct color - there were very few options. Against my better judgement I bought some Minwax and used it. It was just terrible. I hated the finish! I stripped the Minwax and ordered Watco from you - the finish is just beautiful and I am so proud and happy with the results. I will forever be a faithful customer!

I have used the product for years on oak and pine and found the texture and finish to be great final product. I have found that if you apply the natural and then add a color you can lighten the color for the piece. The natural acts as a sealer that prevents to much of the color of a second coat to penetrate to deeply as a result it give a lighter appearance.

A recently purchased book on bed construction recommends using a danish oil finish. I'd just completed a small computer desk and decided to try the finishing method. The desk is built from pine with a solid top, A/C pine side and rear panels and legs, rails, etc milled from stud grade 2X4.
The application method was a bit different than what's noted on the can. First coat was applied with a rag and wiped after 15 minutes - nice color. Next coat (next day) was applied with a rag and worked very wet with 320 grit wet/dry paper, then wiped. - richer color. Third coat (again a day later) applied with rag and worked very wet with 400 grit wet/dry paper then wiped - very nice satin luster. The next day, I applied paste wax using 0000 steel wool. When I buffed the wax, I was amazed.
At four days, it's not a quick way to finish, but it's easy, almost fool proof and the result was the best looking finish I've ever put on a piece of wood. I'm a convert.

This product is very easy for anyone to use and brush cleans up like new. One coat was all it took to match the original piece. Would recommend this stain over all I've ever used. I used it on 1/4 inch Oak plywood for a back panel and Oak veneer along the front. Project turned out excellent; no one can tell that I altered the original item.

I have used this product for years. People love the color that more or less goes with about any room decor.

This product is easy to apply and produces a beautiful finish. I used it to finish a blanket chest I recently built. I applied 3 coats and applied a top coat. Would definitely recommend this product, especially for beginning woodworkers.

This product is excellent, as with the Rockler staff who recommeded it and the color to reach the look I was going for. I highly recommend this Danish Oil.

Very easy to apply, no worries about runs or drips, as it is applied to flood the surface, then excess is wiped off, resulting in a nice oil finish. Will not be high gloss like polyurethane, but does soak into the wood to protect and color it.
My local home improvement stores stopped carrying this and other colors. This table took 1 quart to apply 2 coats (as the label recommends). Table is 60 inches long, 30 inches high, 14 inches deep.

This continues to be an excellent and easy product to use. All Watco Danish Oil, regardless of color, seems to cover evenly and produce a rich but muted hue. It's very similar to the oil finish my father used back 50 years ago. I strongly recommend you follow coating with some type of waxing.

Stains true to color and so much easier and better to work with than Minwax.
