Julie i thin with paint thinners [turps in NZ] I use 50/50, but tung oil you have to be careful as it tends to go hard after mixing, that is why some danish oil goes hard in the tin, it is because they use tung oil, I make my own danish using  1/3 boil linseed, 1/3 polyurethane 1/3 thinners, and that will keep as long as the lid is put back on the jar

When using oil you should always thin it, 50/50, this stops it going sticky and helps the oil penetrate into the wood, dip method or brush and put plenty on, not sure why you would mix 2 different oils???

I normally only use linseed oil for bringing out the color of the wood also, the oil pops the color and grain, and for a gloss finish I spray with polyurethane clear, if it is a white wood I use poly. only as oil tends to yellow the wood

If you are going to use it for every day use and not restoring it for show I would sand it with a random orbital sander then polyurethane it [the top that is] and just clean up the legs, I would not try stripping as stripper tends to have a bleaching effect at times and you may end up with a table top that is lighter in color than the legs
