No, YOU have too many unfinished projects...

Think I'm going to mix up some homebrew tru-oil this weekend.

Not sure if I'll do boiled linseed or pure tung oil yet, but at the moment am thinking 60/30/10, being oil/poly/white spirit.

Interested to see how that goes. Proper finishing has been the biggest PITA for me.

I think it's Bakersdozen that has a successful recipe for DIY Tru Oil, so maybe he'll weigh in.

FWIW, I experimented with it a few years ago and started with the mixing ratio I'd commonly seen in forums of equal parts BLO, Poly, Turps. For whatever reason it just didn't work for me. Compared to the genuine Tru Oil (which I A/B'ed it with) it took longer to set, and the build-up took longer also.

It was at that point I played around with variations in the ratios, but still no joy. IIRC, Bakersdozen uses/used a different kind of BLO than I did, so maybe that was the key. Dunno.
This was around the time I started using a spray gun for all my finishes, so I never revisited the homebrew TO thing. Hopefully you have better success.

Also, hopefully I have correctly named Bakersdozen and not dropped him into something he knows nothing about!

EDIT:
After having a quick look around, I thought it worth mentioning that Pure Tung Oil (no added driers) takes a long time "dry", but then again so does BLO.
