Finishing options

[ucoulddoit]

The advice I read a few years ago about the number of coats of linseed oil to apply was as follows. 'Once an hour for a day, then once a day for a week, then once a week for a month, then once a month for a year, then once a year'. Not very practical if making things to sell, although one workshop I've bought things from give a bottle of oil to each buyer and similar advice about how to steadily build up the finish.
