I have been using Behlen's. I like it but would like to add a softer oil
finish to my tool kit.

Has anyone any info on polymerized tung oil or linseed oil.

Any input would be appreciated.

Walnut oil and Beall buffing on 98% of everything I do......the type
or wood then becomes the issue when food-safe is concerned. Some woods
just should not have food in contact. (Most of what I do is not
particularly designed for food, anyway) If you intend to do mostly
salad bowls, platters...etc, it is best to choose woods that are noted
for these uses.

PURE Tung oil is also good, I have just gotten in the Walnut oil
habit.
