I selected this product because of the term "marine grade" even though it is a little more pricey than other danish oils. I am building a PocketShip and milling the floor boards from white oak.

(2) Using a cloth spread an even light coat over the entire board.
(3) Let dry overnight
(4) Lightly rub surface with steel wool
(5) Repeat steps 2 & 3.

The result couldn't have been more beautiful. The danish oil brought out the beautiful grain of the flat cut white oak. I can't wait to get these in the boat. I'm sure they'll be the centerpiece.
