: If you really want oiled finish, here is the web site for a product that got
: a sterling review in on of the woodworker magazines this month. Reviewer
: liked everything about it, most especially the lack of toxic chemicals
: that are put into "boiled" linseed oil.

This is a polymerized oil, just like Tru-Oil. Polyerized oils produce a finish that looks like varnish. Unlike traditional oil finishes, they can be built up on the surface. They will not give you a traditional oil finish.

: I gather it is scheaper
: to chemically "boil" the linseed oil than to actually boil it.

Boiled linseed oil is not actually boiled, though the types of driers used in days gone by used to require the oil to be heated during blending. I don't believe this is true any longer.
