Best oil for oak?

Alix W
5 år sedan
Help please, Houzzers - I’ve snagged myself a good old eBay bargain - a big oak bookshelf. I’m going to sand and oil it - but does anyone know the best oil for oak? Danish oil? Oslo oil? Something else?

I’d like it to stay reasonably pale if possible.

Thanks in advance!

    I’ve used both danish oil and Osmo top oil. The danish oil gives the wood a rich warm colour and is oily (obviously). The top oil feels more like a liquid wax. I think I prefer the Osmo top oil as it dries better.

      Osmo white, brushed on then wipe excess off, finish with Osmo clear. Or Osmo raw then clear.

      Fabulous - thank you, both! Osmo it is, then.

      The raw oil or the white oil will keep the wood a bit paler before the clear. The clear oil alone will darken it considerably.

      We agree use Osmo clear (pot no. 3062- this will give a clear matt finish) as Danish will darken it :)

      Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for helping. After an epic sanding job, we used Osmo raw. Very happy with the finish!

      Thank you! Realise you can’t really see the finish, but you get the general idea.
