- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024I've used this on my trim work and on a table I built. Love this product, it brings out the grain beautifully.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024I wanted to use danish oil underneath a poly finish. I always turn to Watco.
I also wanted to assure a more consistent color across some varying grains, and to lessen the fading over the years of walnut.
So, here is Watco dark walnut. It does just what I needed.
I considered the lighter walnut color, yet opted for the darker, and it was the correct choice.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023Just me but did not make wood pop like I thought would.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025We've used Tung oil for years on our new furniture builds, but decided to try Danish Oil. Well, after our 1st use 20 some years ago we never looked back. Watco products are high quality, especially their stain/Danish oil combination. It leaves a rich color, and smooth hand-rubbed finish just as they advertise. We highly recommend this product.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023Depending on what I am building, I either spray varnish, or shellac and then varnish over top. Or, if I want a subdued finish that mimics a hand rubbed wax look I always turn to Danish oil. It is easy to touch up when and if there are wear marks like sliding your clock radio around on the top of the end table. Just use some 0000 steel wool and flood the top rub it in with the steel wool for 15 minutes or so and let set another 15 minutes and then wipe off excess and let fully dry over night. Could not be easier.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018A contractor recommended this Danish Oil to me during our home renovation. He showed me how easy it is to use this product to cover the dings of ordinary wear and tear and restore a satin shine. It goes on with high sheen, but after the excess is wiped away and it has a few days to cure, the results are very pleasing. I will be keeping this in my house long-term. It has made a big difference.
