BLO is the bottom grade of linseed oil. It is usually packaged for hardware store sales and shelf life is the big concern. Between the curing catalysts and the delayed curing crap there is no telling what you will get.
Fresh, quality linseed oil, applied properly will deliver a fine finish. It will never be sold as "BLO" or anything hinting at it...
If you have a decent finish from linseed oil it did not come from a BLO can.
Yup. i learned alla that from a friend of mine.
I'm only referring to axe, maul, hatchet, hammer, etc., handles.
