Best Answer

As the source of tung oil is a nut, people with nut Allergies often report adverse reactions to contact with (or even the odour of) tung oil. Reactions can be severe in some cases. While tung oil has been used for many centuries as a finish for kitchen items such as wooden bowls and cutting boards, some individuals must avoid its use.

What is better for Mahogany Tung Oil or Teak Oil?

Used inside, tung oil does not darken, unlike linseed oil. However, linseed oil costs about half as much as tung oil. Therefore, most of the "teak oils" on the market contain mostly linseed as the oil component rather than the more expensive tung oil. The remaining ingredients are penetrants and driers. The same effect can be achieved by mixing turpentine with tung oil prior to application. Another difference is that tung oil will offer a bit more protection from water spotting (if someone fails to use a coaster). I believe tung oil hardens a bit more than linseed, although I am not certain where I saw this.
