Funnily enough, I begrudge discarding all the citrus rind and wondered if there was a feasible DIY method of extracting the oil. I already use a certain amount of commercial orange oil in my finishes.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Lemon oil comes from the peal of the lemon. It is used medicinally, for household products and as a fragrance and flavoring. Manufacturers who extract lemon oil typically use a cold pressed method, which involves machinery that literally presses the oil from the lemon rinds. It will take some 100 lemons to get about an ounce of oil. Yet there is another way to make lemon oil, and that is to infuse it with another oil, such as olive oil.

It's interesting the quantity of peel (not, as they say, peal - that's the result of campanology!) required to produce and ounce of oil. I don't think I'll be adding any lemon scented olive oil to my linseed oil or wax! Originally Posted by wheelinround
