I find that the HBO can even do the blotchy thing even if the previous coat of oil is itself HBO. I think the issue arises when the timber is already 'sealed' by a previous coat... from any oil at all. The main thing I find is a little Hard Burnishing Oil as possible and see how it goes. If it gives the desired result, no more oil.
Anyway, that's what I've found on timbers such as Jarrah with multiple coats of oils and HBO the top most.

Finally have some time off work and am able to begin the Moxon vise. Today was mostly planning interrupted by the usual holiday stuff. Got into it this afternoon and have cut up the vise face, backer board and the table for the rear. Hopefully tomorrow will see it mostly complete.
I am really liking the bench, it is very nice to quickly clamp objects in just about any position and to do so quickly. Putting the dominos in the boards took maybe 3 minutes. I'm as happy as a with a custard tart

The nuts are inset and I just need to finish the holes on the other face.

Looks the goods, Grogs.
I wonder if we should go on calling these things "Moxons"? Yours is a little different from the original! OTH, I guess in the same way we used to call anything that sucked dust up off the floor a "Hoover", it's ok..
Cheers,IW
