Can I use Behandla oil on my pine floors?

I'm not sure where to ask this, hope this is the right place! (I'm new here.)

We are in the process of refinishing soft pine floors and I've been researching all the vast array of products out there. After much deliberation, we've decided to go with a penetrating oil finish rather than a polyurethane coating. So now I'm on to choosing which oil product to use and I'm wondering if Behandla is an option? I see tung and linseed oils as very common ingredients in natural floor finishes that usually cost much more. Has anyone tried Behandla on a soft wood floor and what was the result?

Thanks for your advice!

Welcome! I believe Behandla has tung, linseed, and a carrier so in that respect it would be fine. I would be surprised if it's cheaper to buy in those relatively small containers vs. a big ol' bucket, but maybe it is .
