I've never tried tung oil, but love working with linseed on my wooden handle tools. It has a calming effect, kinda like a walk in the garden.

Jimmy they are made by forgecraft.
I used to use linseed but went to pure real tung oil some time ago.
The reason is linseed oil isn't water resistant and tung oil is.
Linseed oil goes rancid tung oil doesn't.
Tung oil is fantastic once you figure out how to use it.
Here is a link to tung oil.
