Tung Oil has long been a favorite among woodworkers for its ability to enhance and protect wood surfaces naturally. Derived from the seeds of the tung tree, this oil penetrates deep into the wood grain, providing a durable, water-resistant finish while highlighting the natural beauty of the material. Unlike synthetic finishes, tung oil cures into a hard, flexible layer that resists moisture, making it an excellent choice for cutting boards, furniture, and handcrafted wooden items.
At The Original Workshop, we appreciate the lasting benefits of tung oil for our woodworking projects. It brings out the rich color and depth of the wood while maintaining a breathable, non-toxic surface. This finish is particularly well-suited for food-contact surfaces and high-use items since it does not peel or crack over time.
Whether you are finishing a custom cribbage board, a handcrafted sign, or a decorative wood carving, tung oil ensures a smooth, satin-like sheen that enhances the craftsmanship. With proper application, it provides years of protection while keeping the wood looking rich and vibrant. For those who value natural finishes, tung oil is a time-tested choice that pairs beauty with durability.
