    Yep - that's the basic mix for danish oil, and I use something similar (but BLO instead of Tung Oil, and a 1:1:1 mix).
    I like it because it gives very consistent results, no dust nibs to sand off between coats, leaves a nice feel, and you can do as many coats as you want until you get the desired finish.

    You can buy both. Diggers brand is available at the big Green store. The distilled one, it’s called Turpentine Pure Gum and the other Mineral Turpentine.
    I remember the distilled version came with all sorts of health warnings
