Do you have to reapply Danish oil every once in awhile after it dries out or does it actually stain the wood back to whatever color you buy the oil in?

I just bought a complete bedroom set a Franklin Shockey mid-century modern Pine. It had scratches everywhere. I went to Home Depot to buy some similar stain and came across this and I said what the heck. I cannot even begin to tell you how absolutely gorgeous these pieces look

In reply to megan adams. This might not work, but I wonder if it would work on staircase raw wood beneath my carpet. Also, does it have to be covered with varnish after?

In reply to Steph. Yes we used on all our skirting boards (which is i think what you're talking about) and door frames. Worked perfectly.

What if I used Danish Oil on my wood base boards? Anyone ever try?

I used Murphy’s feed and wax on a rattan chair I bought on Craig’s List and it looks like new. I think Danish oil would also work great. The big issue is making sure there’s no old clear coat that prevents absorption.

I also love Murphy’s Feed-n-Wax, similar effect as Danish oil, and it gives it a protective coating.

In reply to Michelle.

I’m sure it could help. I used a different product on my cabinets and it works great . It’s called Restorzit and you can order it from https://www.restorzit.com. Just as with any project on kitchen cupboards you have to clean the wood first to get all the cooking grease, dirt, etc off. It’s not hard to do. Then the second step is applying the restoring oil to the wood and let it dry. No sanding, no staining, no clear coat or wax – just cabinets that look brand new

In reply to yoder178. When you sand it down you need to get ALL the old stain removed. What you miss "seals" the wood so the stain doesn't take the way the wood around it does. Blotches. Oil would be similar as less oil penetrates the areas that are "sealed" off.
