Anyone finish unfinished cabinets with tung oil

14 years ago

I am considering getting Ikea boxes and guts, which I love, and getting doors and drawer fronts made by Scherrs. I want to get the doors/drawers unfinshed and finish myself with tung oil. I have refinished furniture in the past, and love the rich soft natural look of tung oil on wood. I like the DIY aspect of it all, being part of the process, caressing the wood, bringing out the beauty, and really seeing each peice of wood etc.... sounds weird, eh? My DH feels that a factory applied finish is just "better". Anyone out there with tung oil finished kitchen cabinets? Any words of wisdom? Thanks.
