Shane, thanks for your suggestion. I did happen to see liquid liquid parafin, but at the hardware store, and I thought was "I wonder...". I rembered that liquid parafin is used as a laxative (from personal experience too!), but I'm glad you mentioned the stuff from the chemist, not the hardware store.
Have you any idea on Tung oil?

Way back in the dim distant days of youre when I did a bit of wood turning, I found that beeswax melted and mixed in with some citus oil - lemon is fine - makes a great finisher for a long-lasting surface. Warm the wood and beeswax in the sun and lay it on thick and buff with cloth them a buffing pad on your drill.
