Excellent topic, thanks Charles for bringing it up, and thanks everyone for the great, informative replies. Helps a newbie like me!
I like DO for its simplicity and the fact that I can put a few coats of wipe on poly on top if I want a bit more durability. Similar to this, I’ve been using Minwax “tung oil” recently, it seems to have a bit more warmth to it than the traditional DO.
I use BLO on stuff that I don’t mind recoating eg. tool handles, workbench etc. I don’t like the yellow tinge it imparts, so I haven’t used it too often for “finer” projects.
