Used inside, tung oil does not darken, unlike linseed oil. However, linseed oil costs about half as much as tung oil. Therefore, most of the "teak oils" on the market contain mostly linseed as the oil component rather than the more expensive tung oil. The remaining ingredients are penetrants and driers. The same effect can be achieved by mixing turpentine with tung oil prior to application. Another difference is that tung oil will offer a bit more protection from water spotting (if someone fails to use a coaster). I believe tung oil hardens a bit more than linseed, although I am not certain where I saw this.
