We recently had a live edge walnut table made for us and the builder finished it with Watco Danish Oil.

There are a couple knots in the wood and small gaps in the board seams that need to be filled as well to prevent crumbs and liquid from entering - will I be able to use this product for this purpose as well or do you have another one you might recommend?
