This is our 100% pure Tung nut oil mixed 50/50 with Pure Citrus Solvent to create a traditional Tung Oil Finish without the added driers like other "Tung Oil Finishes" on the market today. We use the highest quality Tung Oil available; drying harder and forming a more durable surface finish than Linseed Oil alone. Tung Oil has been used for centuries for its protective and hard finish on wood. The solvent is the carrier to help the oil penetrate quicker and deeper into the surface of your timbers. This has been used historically for natural floor finishing due to the hardness of the surface once the Tung Oil is dry. This looks similar to our Original Finish or Concentrated Oil but without the added benefit of the Wax, Rosin, and Linseed Oil. This is a very traditional finish and is the best hand-rubbed, building up coats to produce a tough yet natural-looking surface.
100% Bio-based. Food-safe once dry. Dries to a matte sheen.
Composition
We disclose ALL ingredients that we use. Heritage Natural Finishes contain NO petroleum products, or metallic drying agents whatsoever! We use only the highest quality ingredients from the most sustainable sources possible. What you see here is what you get. If you have any questions, you can always call us!
Tung Oil
100% pure with no additives. This is the highest quality tung oil available; drying harder and forming a more durable finish than linseed oil alone. Both oils are dryer-free and slightly heat-treated (polymerized).
Special Aged Linseed Oil
Obtained from flax grown in the Red River Valley of the U.S. and Canada. It is purified and refined by natural oxidation and blowing, and dries as clear or clearer than tung oil, with none of the characteristic discoloration that is typical of hardware store varieties. No other finishing oil penetrates as deeply into wood.
Beeswax
Only filtered, chemical and bleach-free white beeswax wax is used. Beeswax adds visual depth of grain, smoothness, and elastic durability. Beeswax forms a skim coat that keeps the finish on the wood, slowing the evaporation of the solvent, which gives the oils more time for absorption.
Pure Citrus Solvent
This is the purest form of citrus turpenes (solvent), extracted from cold-pressed orange peel oil. This is the only solvent used in our finishes, and is also sold separately for thinning product or cleaning up. Pure Citrus Solvent is a safer alternative to mineral spirits, and other harsh solvents and can be used the same way.
Pine Rosin
Gum rosin extracted from pine sap and separated from the turpentine. This is the gum rosin found in heart pine, giving the wood its hardness and durability. We use only top grade, crystal-free, water-white rosin. No synthetic resins are used.
