In Response To: Paddle: oil for greenland paddle (John Waddington)

: I've been making a GP as a Christmas present. I usually varnish my
: wooden touring paddles, but was considering oiling this one. I
: have a can of Circa 1850 Tung and Teak oil, which I use for
: other projects. Has anyone tried this product on a paddle?

I have not used it.

Sounds like a good choice, if it is truly Tung oil.
