Homemade Furniture Oil Mix Other Featured Hints
Shane Hewitt, of Northland NZ, finds this mix to be a good home made timber finish that can be applied easily with a rag and then polished off. 
1/3 Semi-Gloss Polyurethane Varnish
1/3 Boiled, or Raw Linseed Oil
1/3 Teak Oil, or Tung Oil
Mix all this as one, then add 15% Mineral Turpentine.

All these compounds are available from the local paint store. This finish can re-applied over the top later on, if required.
