I tried it. worked great. It yellowed the doug fir a touch but really made the redwood pop. Thanks.

: my experience is limited, but the one GP that I made from WRC didn't change
: color at all with a tung oil finish. I just did two light coats and let it
: dry, though.

: If you buy the pure tung oil at a wiidworking shop, there's no stain in it.
: Costs about $15 for a 12 oz can around here.
