Is there any great difference between them?
Yes. Danish oil isn't just oil, it's up to 30% varnish mix
Teak oil is almost anything, but it's usually a light non-film-forming
oil (often also overpriced and no use to man nor beast)
Which is best for
(a) external wooden gates (large); and
(b) kitchen wood surface?
Danish oil for the first. Apart from giving a rather matt finish, it's
a tough old oil and good for outdoor uses.
Organoil (Australian) also do a good range of outdoor oils.
For kitchens, then I wouldn't use either. Either go with Liberon's
Finishing Oil (a fairly typical film-forming oil) for furniture, or
else simple mineral oil (Liquid Paraffin from the chemist) for salad
bowls. Also search the ng for a thread a week or two back.
Interesting. So what would Coloron's Antique Oil be then?
