Hmmm . . . I think that's probably about right.
Yeah, its MDO.
I know MDO is perfect for painting, but I'm not so sure about oil. I'll
test it and see. Its only my shop; my standards aren't all that high.
I'd kind of like to give everything that yellowish, oiled wood look.

Putting oil on MDO is going to give you that translucent, greasy paper bag
full of onion rings look.
Do you mean MDO or really MDF?
MDO has a phenolic resin overlay that won't take kindly to BLO.
It is typically used for concrete forming, however there are other uses.
