Pure Tung Oil gives most woods an amber, honey tone. Our Dark Tung Oil gives more warm brown, coffee tones to wood. You can use a water-based stain on the wood before sealing with tung oil. Alternatively, you can mix an oil-based stain into the tung oil then apply to create your own custom color. Another option is to paint a wood surface with Real Milk Paint® and then apply tung oil overtop.
