Tung oil use
My only advice is to thin the first coat of pure tung oil with about 25% mineral spirits. Pure tung oil is too viscous to adequately penetrate surface wood fibers but cutting with mineral spirits will facilitate penetration. Pure tung oil cures slowly, requires buffing, and smells a bit but leaves a finish that is resililent and easily touched up.
Tung oil has been used for centuries as a maritime finish due to it's long lasting protective quality.
Another product that I have used is tung oil finish. It cures much faster than pure tung oil and leaves a very good finish.
Tru Oil is also a very good stock finishing product.
