I agree with Ken on this. If an oil finish is what you want I would go with Danish Oil. BLO is fine for things like a workbench but dries very slowly and seems to always have a slight tacky feel. Thats great for a workbench but not so much for most everything else. Raw linseed oil is a different story. I have read some articles that say that it never really dries completely. A polymerized oil product usually is completely dry within a few days and can be built up to a desired luster. Danish Oil is a mixture of polymerized linseed oil and varnish, so it penetrates well and hardens.
