After I sanded her down to 320 grit - Did I ever tell you how much I love the smell of pine?... I put her on the scale.

Then I wipe her down with Naphtha , Mineral spirits, and then water mixed with some Ammonia to get her nice and clean, let her dry and then sanded her lightly - Did I ever tell you how much I love the smell of pine ?...to remove any raised grain.
I decided against the Feed -N-Wax and heated up some Boiled Linseed oil to approx 150 degrees and generously wiped it on, waited 30 mins and wiped it off.
Here are the results after 24hr drying:

Pictures really don't show how good the grain looks and the overall tint. I will be giving her one more coat of the BLO let her dry couple of days and then it will be time to give her a good Shellacing.
