Use Tru-oil with the first couple of coats diluted 1/3 with Zippo lighter fuel (penetrates deeply and dries quickly), build up your coats of tru-oil polishing back every 2nd coat using600-800wet and dry with boiled linseed oil as the cutting lubricant. When you have the grain filled and the finish up to a high gloss, again cut back using 2000 grade W&Dry with B L Oil followed by a Rottenstone/B L O mix, at this stage you are actually polishing the wood not cutting back oil, the finish is stunning. This is basically the so called London finish using modern finishing oils, Boiled Linseed oil will never actually dry and will re-wet under certain conditions, modern oils have the non drying foots removed not by boiling but by treatment with acids to allow total oxidation drying.
