It's not a big jump to assume that if these craftspeople were so good at woodworking, they must also have been good finishers. And if they used linseed oil, they must have chosen to do so because linseed oil made a great finish. Well, this is all a myth. This myth is further bolstered by the suggestion that if you follow their practice of rubbing coats of linseed oil into the wood once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, and then once a year thereafter, you will produce one of the most beautiful and durable finish is possible. Sorry, folks, that just isn't true.
