Not familiar with that, so I'll have to google it.
I usually use dutch oil for most wood finishes, but it may have other
applications.
My rune staff was finished with dutch oil, but first I used a very
thinned out mahogany stain to bring out the carving detail, especially
in the snake scales I pressed with a wood gouge in the serpent carving
at the top. I still have the abalone inlay to do, then I need to dress
and top it with either a crystal or one of those rainbow obsidian eggs I
bought at the gem show. ;-) I may or may not sell it when I'm done, I
have not decided. I've been working on that project for a few years
now... I bought some Ermine tails at a pow wow to dangle also at the
top.
Personally, the only thing I "season" my cutting boards with is
sandpaper. I don't oil, never have and don't plan to. <G>
Why change what has worked for me for years?
