    workbench care

    I've got a small Sjobergs bench and am wondering what surface treatment I should use. I've seen linseed oil recommended. How about mineral oil? Any suggestions/opinions would be appreciated.

    Funny you should mention this. I just read an issue on this.

    "1 cup oil based polyurethane brushing varnish with 1/2 cup mineral spirits, then add about 2 ozs boiled linseed oil. Adjust the mixture with mineral spirits for proper wiping consistency, and apply it like any other wipe-on finish... will dry to the touch in about one hour. Three coats..."
