Thanks. I did wonder about the water/oil analogy. One final question. Is it likely to get darker if I add more finishes, and (if so) is it okay/common just to leave a single finish? Many thanks, Steve.

Thanks Philly. Would you expect the oil itself to be clear or to be (as my Colron "Natural" was) the colour of very diluted Coke? (with a slight reddish tinge). To clarify, the oil was this: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/54151/Pai ... Danish-Oil As I say, currently the colour looks much...

Hi all. I took the plunge and put the first finish on my oak unit last night. It looks good, but a little (well, much) darker than I expected/hoped. I used Colron "Natural" - as opposed to Antique Pine, Georgian Medium Oak, etc. - because I was after a finish very close to the colour of the...

All. Sorry for the total newbie question. I have recently commissioned an Oak (entertainment) unit which I now want to finish myself. It is essentially a chunky coffee table with interior shelves. My intention is to use "Colron" Danish Oil to finish - no reason, other than the shops which sell...
