Boiled linseed is a drying oil, so it will polymerized and seal/protect the wood, but it will also darken over time. REAL tung oil is difficult to find. The stuff that you see at HD is actually another oil mixed with varnish, meant to simulate the results of tung oil. I've read about tung oil, and have some, but haven't used it yet.
