Great 1st step in restoring wooden kitchen products.
I bought this oil and the paste for restoring some wooden plates my parents bought 60 years ago while stationed in Puerto Rico. After reading so many comments pro and con I went to their website and read their care instructions. The oil is to be used as a first step. The website refers to it as the "shampoo" to clean and restore the moisture but should be followed by the paste as a "sealer". Nowhere on their website is tung oil listed, I have used tung oil in the past to seal wood for outside use as that was the original primary use - naval ships. Back to the mystery oil, I could not really detect any orange scent but the linseed smell was extremely mild. Several of the boards were very bleached looking before the treatment and after their first treatment I did not see any orange tint to them but they have had only one treatment. Due to their extreme dryness it took several coats of the oil before the boards stopped drinking the oil like sponges. The cream gave the boards a nice hand not oily but smooth. I would recommend this product highly but suggest that you also get the cream just as the website recommends. I am attaching a before and after photo of one of the boards for your viewing.
