A lot of posts on finishing lately and it doesn't get mentioned, bought some today ($40.00/litre, sigh) and tested it out, its lovely, Probably full of driers and stuff but its nice and thin, smells good, soaks in but still makes a slight film, richens colour but not yellows, pure goldilocks.
Results similar to this on oak, a little less gloss.

Just riffing on Nelsons bench, pictures soon, when that bloody oil dries.
Seeing as I'm here and SDR may well be reading I'd like to run this past him or tktoo or anyone else, with the slats on something like Nelsons bench do you think when its made commercially that dados are just cut into a few 8"x1.75" boards a set distance apart and then all the slats ripped off? I was thinking even a fair bit of sanding and finishing could be done beforehand too.
