What about just hot linseed oil? Linseed oil heated in a pan on a stove and then carefully (so you don't burn your fingers) applied? I've used this to finish furniture with good results. Bob

There is not much else that will work to get the linseed oil into the wood as turpentine is produced from the wood. You could experiment with DMSO as if it thins the linseed then it will also work and it does not have an odor. Oil paint thinner (VM&P Naphtha) will work but that is benzine. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
