Thanks Jim. I was leaning towards BLO and maybe a little turpentine. I've searched the web to try and figure out what Ulmia used but can't find anything. Probably the same as Sjoberg benches.

I have an Ulmia workbench that I've had for many years. The top is pretty stained and didtressed and due to be refinished. I plan to aggressively sand the bench top (Festool RO 125) but not sure...
