I've got a farmhouse style pine table which has been in use for several years. The plan is to paint the undercarriage, sand and oil the actual top.
Would have normally opted for Danish oil, which I don't have. However I've got some teak oil for outdoor furniture.
Would that do instead of Danish oil?

Teak oil is normally very slow to dry. Danish oil, hardwax oil or osmo poly x will all do a decent job.
ok thanks. I'll give it a miss.
After sanding, I would recommend a mix of Danish oil, non-water-based varni sh, and white spirits in equal quantities. Wipe it on, leave for five minut es, and then remove the residue. Wait 30 minutes and repeat. If you do this about ten times, leaving longer between applications as you go on, you wil l create a waterproof, pretty nearly heat-proof surface that lasts for year s. It really works.
