Step 14 Linseed Oil...

This is the exciting bit. Closed to finished.

I decided on linseed oil over polyurethane because it is easier and not quite as toxic.

Apparently Linseed oil is like an eopxy that sets exothermically as it reacts with the wood. That's something really cool that I didn't know.

I used boiled linseed oil, and it has worked really well. I applied with brush then wiped down with rags.

It needs to sit in sun and air for a few days for the smell to dissipate.

Sweet. I wish I had access to a water jet!
