Any Wood Worktop Oil

Besides, which oil is harder to apply, you will see unwanted marks once the newly oiled surface cures

Never gone wrong with Danish in the past

I’ve used it a number of times and it’s excellent. IMO the best worktop oil you’ll get. Go with Osmo top oil and pick the finish you want.

We’ve used Danish oil on our solid oak breakfast bar & worktops. Despite previous owner saying that’s what he used, our finish is different. Haven’t done them all yet, but I prefer our finish which is less shiny. We don’t prepare any food directly on the surfaces though. 

As above you’ll have a few different finish options available. These might be a simple as matt and gloss depending on the oil.

Thanks. I didn’t know that. Must remind OH to finish the job though so they all look the same

The Danish oil was easy to apply once OH got used to it. 1st one he did looked a bit patchy for a while but others are all fine.

I found Osmo easy to apply. Poured a bit on and rubbed it into the wood. I think you can get specific products for application but I actually used an old cut up t-shirt which seemed to work fine. 

Left it to dry, applied a second coat in the same way. Once that dried I gave it a final buff. Came out well and doesn’t look patchy at all.

In terms of finishes Osmo top oil has loads, think it was about 9. I used 2 different finishes for different purposes. Despite being the same wood it looks very different. If it would help I could post pics of the final result.

Another vote for Osmo Top oil.  We tried using Ronseal Worktop oil - and it most certainly doesn't do what it says on the tin.

Rustins Danish Oil on our Iroko worktops

We use Danish oil on our solid walnut worktop and upstands.

Easy to apply, dries pretty quickly and looks great.

As I've just finished a re-dec on the kitchen, I gave the Iroko a sand and some linseed oil. Linseed oil keeps sinking in to the timber, rather than sitting on the top and drying out. Although it's more work, it does nourish the timber, which is why it's used for cricket bats.
