Best Oil for Hawthorn Walking Stick?

[Foresty Forest]

I'm carving a walking stick from a hawthorn. Which would be the best oil for it. I want the oil to sink in and not stay on the surface - to enhance the wood. I have linseed oil and teak oil, or would danish oil be better? How many times should I oil it?

Thanks

Found this .

1. Apply two coats of wood stain, allowing each coat to dry overnight, to give the stick a darker, richer hue. Then apply three coats of clear urethane varnish to seal the wood and prevent rot. Allow each coat of varnish to dry overnight. Sand the stick lightly with very fine sandpaper or steel wool after each coat.

Thanks for the advice. I did want to oil rather than varnish. Thanks though.

Have a look at Osmo oil- it is an oil/wax.

Since you have teak oil I would use it. More hard wearing than linseed and dries quicker.
