Stain under Tung Oil ???

Any tips on applying a stain to red oak and then top coating with Tung oil?
I've seen tung oil used alone (David Mark's WoodWorks show) but can it be
applied over stain? If so, is the type of stain important?

Yes. No. Test on scrap.

Stick with an oil based stain just to be sure there's no issues, and make
sure the stain sets for a day or two prior to topping with the tung oil. You
should end up with a trouble free finish.

Good luck
