Can't you soak it in oil Peter to reduce some of the drudgery?

Hello Ern,
Yes, I will soak it several times. It's amazing, after soaking all night many pieces don't look heavily oiled. It seems that it is the buildup that gives the translucent effect. The oil soaks deeply but after wiping off the excess and sanding there isn't a rich gloss/oiled finish. It does however soak deeply into the wood but requires several dippings to "fill the wood".

nice one
Peter,

How about soaking under pressure. I have often thought that pressure might be a way to shorten the process.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Peter , how would it go , in the future , if you oiled the piece from one side only ,
thus allowing any air and moisture to escape ,
rather that stay trapped in between two oil layers.

If the piece had been turned fairly thin, and esp if sanded, wouldn't it be pretty dry already?
Cheers, Ern

Full marks for your memory MJ.
"Pretty wet" up north might well mean "pretty dry" down here, if one wanted to be Jesuitical ;-}Cheers, Ern
