<p>[QUOTE=&quot;G.Isaac, post: 192390, member: 3542&quot;]Thanks, Brad. Yesterday I was in touch with someone who has seen this style of furniture before, and he told me that he believes the furniture would have been finished with a colored linseed oil, with no additional protection (shellac, etc.).</p><p><br /></p><p>Given this new information, would you still go ahead with the tung oil, or would you used an uncolored linseed oil?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve read that tung can be better for protecting against moisture?</p><p><br /></p><p>This brings me to a final question: the backsides and undersides of the furniture were not covered with this colored linseed oil. However, one of the pieces (sort of a long wall frame) has warped a bit, I assume because it is long and the backside never had any sort of protection and thus had a different reaction to the environmental elements (dryness and moisture in the air). If I apply tung or linseed oil on the pieces, should I extend that to the backsides and undersides for protection?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
