Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning and sanding if necessary. The wood may also be too sealed; in this case, consider a different product.
Uneven finish after application.
Apply the oil evenly, following the grain of the wood. Avoid applying too much oil at once to prevent puddling. Apply a second coat if needed.
The colour is not as expected.
