I am making a kitchen counter top using southern yellow pine, mostly quarter sawn. I finished a previous one with mineral oil, but it dries out rather often and needs more coats.
I am wondering if BLO would be a workable solution for this. Though the counter is in a kitchen, it will not be used as a cutting board, so I am not concerned about a 'food-safe' finish. It is also not in a wet location.
If this would work, how should it be applied? I have never worked with BLO, so would appreciate any advice.
If this is not recommended, what is?
Thanks for any help, Harvey
