All the doors in our house are danish oiled. put on a generous coat forst, (with a cloth), leave to dry for 24 hrs. then rub down with very fine wire wool, then apply another coat of danish oil. leave this coat to dry for 48 hrs, then you can buff with a soft cloth to a dull sheen, it's fantastic stuff!!

Sorry read all the way through my Mum's book last night...there are some truly bizarre recipes in it.....one to waterproof stuff sounded really dangerous it had lead in it ! anyway the one that was missing was her furniture polish recipe...now I'd really like it myself.

Kea - what a shame, but I bet you enjoyed reading the book 

And now I can't decide between linseed oil, birwax or danish oil on the doors and frames - too many choices. LOL

I swear by Tong oil. I looked it up, and the other name is Danish Oil.  I have a beech surface around my sink and the Tong oil (maybe twice in 10 years) keeps it protected and looking new even around the sink and all its splashes. Small amount of sanding where there are stains, and it comes up like new.

This sounds as though it could be it....http://www.makeyourown.net/Furniture_Polish_recipe_2.shtml

It certainly has the right ingredients I thought I was remembering a really odd combination but i have found this on the web.

   That's fantastic  Kea,   well done you for finding it !

    Like the sound of  '' twice in 10yrs '' artichoke -  sounds like my kind of dusting,     

    Do they sell linseed oil today - boiled already -  I wonder  [ hope ] ,

    Bet your doors look a picture tonybloke,  a lot of hard work but worth it,
