Thane,

You said RAW linseed oil? Just checking. From what I've been told (I love linseed oil by the way, for furniture) RAW linseed oil will never dry...this thread has been talking about staining/sealing the whole frame...not sure you'd want to do your whole frame in RAW linseed. I'd use boiled.

I also heard that insects like to feed on linseed oil. Anyone support/deny this ??
