Spurred by Eric's comments on an earlier post, I finished these Shovin' Oars with Tung Oil. I had time for just a single coat - which I applied liberally to the White Ash with a rag - then let sit overnight before I wiped them down.

My experience with Tung Oil has been limited to interior furniture - like Susan's antique piano stool I just rehabbed.
I will recommend a second coat to the new owners - followed by a coat or two each "off-season" when they are dry - as I have long done with Linseed Oil.
Any advice for alternative treatment when using Tung Oil? Any special prep needed?
Thanks very much,
SJS
