I have an oak table and chair set which was purchased unoiled. The shop said to use Danish Oil about once a year or so to keep the wood in good condition and to stop it drying out.
I did this, but wasn't happy with the "sheen" the danish oil gave the wood.
The table could now do with being redone, however, I'd prefer not to use Danish oil again, unless I have to.
Are there other alternatives? Someone suggested I could use some sort of wax instead of the oil. I don't want to put something on it that will either ruin the wood or not react well going onto something that has previously been treated with Danish oil.
All I really want is a matte finish and healthy wood.
Thanks
