tung oil
I have never used tung oil before.
I was given an almost full tin. The guy who gave it to me used it for the tray on his ute, then forgot all about it.
My question is:
Can I use it on a stained spinning wheel? I think it is walnut stain, it is very dark black/brown. The surface doesn't seem to have ever been sealed.
If not, what about polyurethane?
TIA

Pure tung darkens walnut. Not unpleasant but darker.
I put it on a replica Brown Bess musket I built almost 40 years ago.
The gun has had a lot of handling and exposure to outdoor elements but is still in fine shape. Tung is a durable finish and very moisture resistant.
Do test but I believe it will suit your needs very well.

Yep! it should be okay over stain but as mentioned above, try it on a test area first just in case you don't like the finish it gives you.
Reality is no background music.

Yes we did Jock.
It is all cleaned up now and the tung oil worked a treat.
Thanks for all the help
