What is the difference between oiled oak and oak?

oak is usually lighter. Oilded oak shows the grain of the wood has a bit richer and darker color.

It all depends on how dry the wood is. I used mine in Portugal on very old, dry wood and it soaked it up like a sponge. The oil dries to a hard finish....it seems that you have to do several coats to fill the pores. Why be stingy, you're going to love the tung oil and want to put it on everything...so buy a bigger bottle.

Not that I can tell or see. If you go to the Amazon product description of the Hardwood Oil you'll see the oils composition, with no reference to Linseed oil.

They should be different and clearly labeled. One is super thick the other thinner than oil.

When I think oak I think more in the brown/tan family. The one I received I would classify as a light cherry. More red in the finish than brown.

The one I received seems to be solid oak, however, I've seen better build quality in high school shop classes.

I don't know about florida oak,I use Mesquite,Hickory, and Apple depending on how I feel. I use 2 or 3 med sized chunks depending on what I'm cooking

I'm pretty sure it's Maple. But Oak and Maple are generally similar wood styles as far as I am concerned.

I have only used the top oil. I don't know if there is a difference. I have had no problems with the top oil thought. I did a job with a product called paper stone and that is what they recommended to use as a top coat.

Here is a link to the oak finish. I think it's the closest to natural you will find in this brand. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008HQPRKC/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1362487566&sr;=8-6π=SL75

Like most woods, to oil it. I like to keep it dark, I don't like the faded disyreessed look of some hardwoods such as teak when it turns gray. So I oil it on a regular basis.

Time. Spirals impart more oak flavor in less time than chips because more surface area is exposed to the liquid. Same result assuming same quality.

Yes, I would say medium oak is a good color description. I have the dark wood color down on mine and really like it!

If it's varnished, oiling won't make a difference. If the wood is not varnished, use lemon oil, or linseed oil and wipe off the excess.

I don't know. I use the oil, because that seems more appropriate for butcher block that is used for cooking.

I ordered the one shown. It's a light oak, almost golden in color. Works well with light wood furniture. And keeps the room nice and warm!
