I am practicing before I apply a finish on my pine table. I have the watco danish oil in medium. What is the best way to apply? HOw long do I wait before wiping back and before adding another coat. I am still debating whether I just want to use a plain oil like hemp oil, or just polyurethane. Thanks!

I use Watco Danish oil on some of my work and I like it, but I would not use it on a table or any surface that will get lots of use. A good polyurethane is the best way for a table top and today, the water based polys are very good. They are easy to work with and have very little odor.
Danish oils are not a very hard finish but I like it because it brings out the natural color and texture of the woods. The best thing about the Danish oils is that if the surface gets damaged from minor scratches or spills (not deep damage but surface damage) you can sand out the damage and reapply a matching oil and it will blend in with the old finish.
