Yes sir, points well taken. So I have heard no one speak of lemon oil, what kind?

Next to the furniture wax. It’s yellow.

Oxidizing oils start fires on rags because oxidation creates heat. Don’t pile or trash can those rags.

Thanks for adding that. I always try and add that point as a disclaimer when talking about wood oil finishes but I forgot this time. Whenever I wipe down / refinish a stock with linseed the rags go straight to the fire pit.

I would take the same precautions with lemon oil. All vegetable oils can oxidize and harden. Its just a matter or how fast and if it is fast enough to generate enough heat.

I feel like I have seen that actually. I'll take a look. Thanks!
