How to apply a Boiled Linseed Oil Finish

Boiled Linseed Oil is very easy to apply.
It's about as foolproof as any finish can get!
I show how to use BLO as a wood finish.

I have been in the coatings & finishing trades all my life. Even ran several sections for the Government as my main career for close to 20 yrs. Simply put, this was one of the best & easy to follow demonstrations out there. Very good job at not over complicating the process Fabian.

Thank you for this very clear demonstration. Can’t wait to try this on my freshly stripped antique solid walnut woodwork!

I remember my father using linseed oil on walnut gunstocks. The depth and beauty that it brought out in the grain of wood was amazing.

Thank your for this amazing video, I'm new to this wood working world and this is so simple I don't think I can mess it up.

All these years I never understood the intricacies of boiled linseed oil and waxing - I made the mistake years ago of thinking BLO was oil and not a lacquer type finish and I left a visible layer of oil on an oak dresser and it set hard, bad news.But now I know how! Many thanks Fabian.

Just finding this video and your channel now. Thank you for the very clear and excellent explanation of the process. I am about to finish the top of my workbench with this linseed oil and see what it looks like 👍

WOW -- why is this method not used more often?? It permits the natural beauty of the wood to be displayed....So Those somber, shoe-polish stains get so tiresome.

Hi there Fabian, that piece of wood looked beautiful when you finished it. I'm inspired to do the same. it was easy and not expensive to do. Excellent video. Thanks.

[Theminecraftian]

Holy cow! With the wax at the end there, I can almost feel the pressure you put on it slipping right off. Awesome job.

[TJMahoney]

Wow!!
Simple, easy and beautiful!!
Thank you for sharing!

I have done as you explained on a kitchen countertop table. After the last application, I buffed the oil to a pretty shine. I waited 3 weeks and there are several moisture spots despite attempts to dry any water that comes in contact with the wood. I have only been able to remove these spots with baking soda but this also completely removes all the shine away. I would like to avoid wax and would love to hear any explanation as to why the shine apparently disappears and why these differences in shine/ matte areas appear.
