I’m making a printer stand from poplar and want to finish it with tung oil because of its simple application. The wood was sanded, ending up with a 220 grit.

I know that I should first test the finish on a piece of scrap wood to see how it will look on the wood I’m using. However, before I invest money on so-called tung oil, or pure tung oil, and mineral spirts, I would like to get a general idea of the approximate color and degree of lightness or darkness of the wood once this finish is used. I’d appreciate any help on this question.
