Well I finally got around to getting some BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil). While I was waiting for the firehouse table stain to dry I grabbed a plastic container and squirted some BLO in it and placed the plane straight up and down. I must say I was highly impressed with how quickly it started to work. You could literally see the oil getting drawn up through the plane. In about 10 minutes it had pulled the oil up about an inch high (out of the 22” length of the plane). Post some more pics tomorrow on it all oiled up!

just let it sit flat on the sole in the bath the night over and splash the rest
with a pencel wait 20 minuts and do it again wait 20 minuts again maybee 3-4 times
until it caant suck further then vibe of with a rag
then wait from two days to a few weeks depeding on when the serface feels dry
then polish it with a rag or a layer of wax let dry and polish
remember to spread out / hang up the rags to dry and then despose them in a airtight container
to avoid self combustion
