I'd say much the same as Paul, with one extra note of caution; some makes of "Boiled Linseed Oil" (BLO) are made by a chemical process, rather than in the traditional manner of boiling. It seems to me that some of the modern, chemical processes result in a BLO that is not food safe. My advice would be to check carefully with a manufacturer's safety data sheets, which should be readily available on line, to confirm the makes that are safe.....many of the cheap makes offered in DIY stores may be safe, but their data sheets do not state that they are. Personally, I wouldn't use one unless its data sheet specifically states that it's safe.
