Johan, I am saying the complete opposite:-
DO NOT USE LINSEED OIL ON THIS PIECE OF WOODWORK
I apologise if my English was unclear.
This wood is glued together, linseed oil is a penetrating oil, if it penetrates to the glued joints, particularly in the joints in the gandar, those joints are likely to separate.
Use Danish oil
do not use linseed oil
~~~~~~~~~~
I've used linseed oil, both raw and boiled, on rifle stocks, and it gives a good finish, but it will penetrate wood, depending on the type of wood, sometimes quite deeply, it must never be used on wood with glued joints.
