WATCO DANISH OIL - DARK WALNUTWatco Danish Oil is a unique blend of penetrating oil and varnish that hardens in the wood, not on the wood. It penetrates deep into wood pores to protect from within and to enhance the natural look and feel of the wood, creating the rich, warm glow of a traditional hand-rubbed finish. Many projects can be completed in less than an hour - simply brush or wipe on and wipe off.
