I want to apply Danish oil on a table with an elm top and beech frame. I have tried an oil based stain (Blackfriars) and Danish oil, but the results are not up to scratch as the oil dissolves the stain, and I end up with patches where the stain was removed. So, am I better of using an alternative stain (Colron water based say) and Danish oil, or a ready coloured Danish oil? The colour I want is medium oak i.e. a lightish brown.
Also, the table top has some knots, and the manufacturer filled the centres of the knots with a grey filler. This filler does not seem to take a stain (Blackfriars, Colron). Is there a way to colour it dark? Or is the only option to remove it, and refill with a stainable filler, and if so, which?
