Hi Les, I haven't used it on turned items for nearly 20 years (this is when I swapped the Graduate for a Myford Super 7 in work. I still use it on Hazel for walking sticks but you can't get rid of the smell of BLO even after 3 or 4 years of them being in use. I have just re-finished a fruit bowl with Danish Oil that my Dad has had for many years and used meths to get rid of the old BLO. -- Julian
