A couple of times I've seen Norm (genuflect) give a project a coat or
two of finishing oil and THEN suggest that a couple coats of
polyurethane on top of that wouldn't go amiss. Somehow that just
doesn't seem very right, but I don't know why. Of course he tends to
coat almost EVERYTHING with poly. I think he gets off on the vapors.

Never watched Norm, but I do it occasionally on butternut or some other
woods that respond really well to BLO. Unfortunately BLO does almost
nothing to protect the wood, so I will put pu over the oil.

The oil is fine for a finish as long as you are very careful not to spill or
scratch the surface. The poly is stronger protection.

Quite often, oil can give a pleasing tone, with protection and some
gloss added via a film finish.
A very common, classic finish on white oak is a rubbing with BLO,
followed by sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer. Sitckley calls it
"Limestone Oak."

Actually Parks is a division of Zinnser, which sells several polyurethane
finishes under the "Parks" brand. But I doubt that that's why he uses it.

I stumbled into finishing white oak with BLO.
Very happy with results.
Rather than use something like poly, lacquer or shellac, used bees wax
cut 1:1 with turps over the BLO.
IMHO, looks quite nice; however, piece is in a home occupied by adults
and will not be exposed to tough duty.

No need to be sorry . . . TLAs and ETLAs can take some getting used
to; I know, I've worked for IBM thirty years . . . .

TLA = Three Letter Acronym (like "IBM" ;^)
ETLA = Extended TLA, where three aren't enough.
