Are you looking for a better way to apply oil finishes? You've come to the right place! Applying natural drying oils such as tung oil, walnut oil, or linseed oil isn't difficult, but you can really screw things up if you apply it like other finishes. So be sure to watch the entire guide to learn not only how to apply oil finishes, but why the method I recommend is the least likely to cause issues regardless of the oil, the wood, or the conditions in which you're applying it. And in spite of my attempt at humor in the thumbnail, there ARE other ways to apply oil that can work. So if you have something that's working for you, stick with it. I'm not here to change your mind. But if you've been having issues with oil finishes and you'd like to save a little money, try my recommendation.
