I'm re-doing the tiling in my kitchen and after 5 years decided to sand and re-oil my oak worktop (Danish oil). It's about time I did all the oak skirting / architrave again too - so this post is about the kitchen worktop and those too.
I've not had any issue with the worktop and it still looks good (looks better where it has been re-sanded / oiled!) , but reading online there is all sorts of advice.
I've seen people recommending osmo products too and talking about Hard Wax Oil of which I have no experience. I also have a few litres of Danish oil.
I wanted the colour of the wood to come through, and ideally have a protective coating (I have kids). I don't think I have a problem with having a sheen on the wood.
The other thing I was thinking was would it be wrong to apply a couple of coats of oil, then apply a coat of polyurethane varnish (worktop and skirting?)
Any ideas or thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance,
