I don't care for the BLO (chemically treated flax seed oil) It does penetrate into the wood but it also wears off easily. Tung oil is a different story, that stuff gets in there, stays there and you can build it up to a gloss. The 100% tung oil is a mess to work with but there are plenty of blends out there that make things easy enough for a novice to get a good finish.
