I have used Lemon Oil for scrollsaw and carvings with good results.
I just made a Urn for my little dog, I made if from Brazilian Cherry and coated it with two
coats of "Old English Lemon Oil" I bought this at Homedepot. I also made a small display
with the wood and coated it with Danish Oil and it darkened the wood beautifully and was great
this way too. But the lemon oil brought out the wood color and grain. I have used lemon oil on my
scrolled parts this past Christmas and thought they worked fine. Also used for the kids teacher name
plaques I made them out of Oak. Danish oil is fine, but, is dark. The English lemon oil has worked fine
and I have only used 3/4 of one 8 oz bottle on about a dozen pieces and I haven't found the problem of not drying. It's a matter of choice and if I was going to put poly on for final coat, it would not be the Lemon Oil. But, I don't really put poly on Danish either.
