Keep putting on more oil until it evens out. The wood is likely soaking it all up because it is so dry.

Oil them lightly once a month after this.

Thank you, I definitely will - I was scared to do it for some weird reason, I thought it would be really messy and dusty and I have kids with additional needs so I was scared to start. It’s really easy though so that’s fine :)

Just wipe off the extra that's left. If there is a lot on top just spread it around. If it is messy and sticky, you need to wipe off more. You should not be able to actually feel the oil when you are finished.

No it’s not messy at all, I just thought it would be! I’m using sponge applicator things and then buffing with a cloth to remove excess so I think that part’s all good :) Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!
