I have never heard of that product.
As for me, I've used boiled linseed oil and Birchwood Casey's Tru Oil.

Those are pretty grips. I use Mylands on the furniture I make after the finish is applied and cured, and I put it on my gun stocks especially if hunting in the rain.
It is particularly good where the wood grain is open or there is a lot of grain directional changes.

I will have to try some Odie's, looks interesting but I don't know about having it darken up with age. Cherry wood does that on it own and I wish it didn't.
But in this case I think it looks good. I make these coin banks for my Grandchildren out of Northern Black Cherry. This one is mine, it has darkened up from how it looked from when I made it.

You mean tung aka. china wood oil? That's what I usually soak wood in (and let it cure) before applying Tru-Oil. Or if the finish is to look "rustic" and somewhat rough, leave it at that.I see that Odie's is food safe, it must be a mineral oil of some kind, maybe tongue oil.

Tung oil is also fantastic for hardwood outdoor furniture as it penetrates very deep into wood, thanks to its molecular structure. One of my favorites and I often prefer it over BLO.
Depends. Usually anything between four and ten, and buff the finish to desired gloss (including full matte) once it's cured. Once it's exactly how I want, I wax it.When you apply TruOil over tung oil, how many coats do you do?

Tung oil will polymerize during curing so Tru-Oil isn't absolutely mandatory, only preferred.
They don't say what "oils and waxes" it is blended from ... but "Food Safe" is touted many times in product description ...I see that Odie's is food safe, it must be a mineral oil of some kind, maybe tongue oil.
The words "oil" and "wood" don't go together for me and I absolutely hate finishes that darken or even yellow with age. Set in my ways I am.
Might as well run in some snake oil while you’re at it.
