In Response To: Material: Minwax Tung Oil? (Rick Cicciarelli)

: So I know people have said to check the can before using various tung oils
: because some have various ingredients and are better than others. I went

: had read that was a pretty good one...didn't see it. They only had Minwax
: tung oil. Has anyone used this on their greenland paddles? Results? Other
: suggestions?

I have a hickory walking stick finished with tung oil that I have used almost every morning for over a decade and the finish is till good. I also finished my Greenland paddle a couple of years ago with oil/varnish mixture that has also held up well so far. And I finished a gunstock with linseed oil that held up. Any of these would be fine I think.
