Hi there....
I have bought a large solid oak worktop to put on top of various bits of built in joinery around the house. It's been cut down to size and fitted, and looks lovely. I do need to oil it though or else it will look like rubbish fairly quickly, but as it is not a kitchen worktop, it doesn't have to be super hard wearing.
I'm going to order a sample of a tinted oil by Osmo, as I think in at least one of the areas I want a slightly darker look, but otherwise I want as natural a finish as possible. Do I just go for the Osmo clear oil? Or Danish oil? Or something else?
Anyone have any words of wisdom they might share?
Thank you!
(I have a bit of the worktop left over, so can test out a few options if necessary, but don't really want to spend a lot of money on multiple samples.....)
