Great for old wood and wooden handles
Shovels hoes and picks with wood handles really benefit from linseed oi. Keeps handles smooth and in good condition. My old windows 1890 really benefit from linseed oil before repainting.

Nice product
I originally got this to finish a gun stock. It worked well and penetrated the wood deep to bring the grain and color back on a piece that was made in the 60's. I have also been walking around my house touching up scratches on furniture and molding. One excellent test was rubbing it on the top of my kids wooden stools they use as TV trays. It has helped protect and made clean up easier. Application has little fumes and does not dry to fast leaving enough time to add a second quick spread for even coating on a spot that has been missed or has a blotch.

worked well..
I generally use Danish wood oil, but linseed oil can be used on wood that will be in contact with food. It dried quickly so I could start waxing the same day.

I have a stripped cedar chest that is walnut wood. Can I just apply Linseed oil to the stripped wood and then apply a coat of polyurethane for finish?
A shopper on May 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: yes you can, however it is crucial that you let the linseed oil cure completely or you risk fading and odd looking areas. If you are looking to preserve the natural wood color itself, a reliable alternative that I use on my hardwood furniture is to apply 2-3 coats of polyurethane to seal the wood, and then rub in a couple of coats of Briwax (clear). This not only provides a beautiful surface shine, but protects the wood surface from daily use.
Can you add tint to this to stain the project?
Richard P on Sep 16, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I don't know. I used it straight up. I did notice, however, that there was a slight yellowish coloring to the wood after use.

I applied Boiled Linseed Oil to pine but I realize it is a mistake because I can't wait 3 days or a week for it to dry. I made a mistake. Could I wipe it with Lacquer Thinner or Other Paint Strippers to remove any residue and apply a stain afterwards? Thank you very much for your help!
Julian J on Mar 7, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Julian, you really should not have to remove all the linseed oil to add stain to your pine project. If it's still wet, wipe all the excess oil from the wood then just apply an oil based stain. Pine tends to be blotchy when stained; having the linseed oil there to seal the wood a little should reduce the amount of blotching you get
