Recently there was a post by someone using linseed oil on their hives. I
got the impression that it was used on the inside of the hive as well as
the outside. I would like to find out for sure as I plane to use it on
some Top Bar Hives I'm building.
When I took wood working in high school, many years ago, we used lenseed
oil as a furniture finish. We applied it boiling hot using a small mop
that we made from strips of fabric. I still have a Mahogany gun rack that
I finished this way and it still looks as good as it did when I finished
it. Has anyone tried this method on hives?
