Okene oil replacement

and Lambert. I have used this product for over 30 years with excellent
results. The finish is applied with a small rage, the first coats
penetrate, the more coats the greater the surface build up, wax the surface
with 0000 steel wool and buff. The product is no longer on the market. I've
tried the following, Benjamin Moore Antique Oil, Watco Danish Oil, Minwax
Antique Oil, Hopes Tongue Oil, Tried and True with bee's wax, I mixed Minwax
polyurethane and Minwax Antique Oil none give suitable results like the
Okene. I need suggestions for a replacement. I am down the just a few
ounces of Okene and need a replacement.
Thanks

I try not to do any wood working if I am in any rage at all. ;~)

Not knowing what the results looked like it will be hard to suggest a
replacement but I have been using General Finishes since the late 70's with
great results.

I find that it's a good time to put a scrap of 2x2 or something on the
lathe and make shavings...
It's amazing how much calmer that makes me... of course, I stay out of
the shop if I'm well oiled that night..

me to use tongue oil but I have learned that some tongue oil finishes
don't even have tongue oil in them.
Do you know what was in Okene? An old timer told me it was tongue oil
and danish oil but I don't know if that is true. I don't know where to
turn. thanks, ph.

oil. It is teat treated tung oil and it works great. You can also buy it
from lee valley. they get it in bulk from SW and package and sell it. It
is a wipe on wait 5-10 minutes and wipe off. Depending on what I am
making, I apply 3-5 coats at least 24 hours apart. The more coats the
better the build.

.... In conclusion, the best kind of tongue oil is the teat treated kind.

years. I finally purchased the only product suitable to go over Okene and
that is WATCO Danish Oil, Natural. All other Danish oil products I looked
at had a verathane in it which I did not want.
Did my first piece of antique yesterday. Used 180grit 3x sandpaper to
remove a water stain and freshen up the rest of the top of the washstand.
Brushed the oil on, waited 15 minutes, wiped off. Wow, I was so impressed.
Love the feeling of velvet smooth once dry. I did a second coat today,
same timing/process and am very happy with the results.
Not sure what you did not like about WATCO. I was also advised to buy two
containers, as this product may not be easily available in the future.
Since I oil my furniture every 4 years, I did. Figure I'm set for life
now! Posted Sept 2015.
