I finished my first project with boiled linseed oil on spalted maple

just out of curiosity, because of course I would NEVER think of doing
something like this, why not??? rancidity..rancinidity..whatever?? And
how about that big old can of crisco that never gets used?? any
possibilities??

when i was a kid i used vaseline on some small turned pieces. once i
couldn't find vaseline, so i used vicks vap-o-rub. in addition to
dating my middle-aged ass, that also shows that the lard and crisco
ideas are still in play.
