Over the last few years I have noticed an increase in the number of people using boiled linseed oil (BLO) as a finish. I seem to recall reading many years ago that this finish darkens considerably with age. Don't ask me where I read this, but I'm sure I didn't make it up.
So, is it true that it darkens, and what has given rise to it's recent popularity as a finish?
Does anyone have anything they finished with BLO more than ten years ago and can comment on it's appearance now.
