I’ve been using Liberon Danish oil and been happy with the results. However, I now want an oil finish for an outdoor table and Liberon’s oil doesn’t claim to be water resistant.

Colron does claim its Danish oil is water resistant. So could anyone tell me what it’s like?

(I realise that “Danish oil” is a loose term that covers a range of different products.)

Get a teak oil instead? This is assuming you want to buy something, as mentioned numerous times recently you could make an equivalent yourself.

Which wood are you using by the way? What kind of refinishing schedule are you comfortable with?
 
Thanks Phil and Andy, I'll check out teak oil and Tonkinois.

It's larch. I'm comfortable with taking my time with finishing (no problem to wait 1-2 days or more between coats).
