I have made a few simple things for the shop; mostly boxes and "things" from cheap pine and plywood to keep bits-and-bobs in.
I'd like to finish them with something just to tone down the very blond look (but not too dark) and help preserve them - the room is well ventilated but dampish, oddly(!)
What could I use for a simple, cheap finish?
I looked at boiled (also raw) linseed oil or something called just "finishing oil" also danish oil (darkens the wood?). They are cheap.
Cheers.
