Steve Knight soaked his plane blocks in oil, but not sure what oil,
but I think motor oil.

A tip from Steve at the end of this page 2 of 2 http://showcase.netins.net/web/iabon...building1.html

is to place the block in sawdust to leach out excess oil. Off hand, I wouldn't have thought to use sawdust this way. This article doesn't state what kind of oil.

Soaking up oil is a common use for sawdust. Kitty litter works well
too. ...as cheap as possible (clay, not fancy "crystals").
