Hello
I made a cribbage for a fundraiser this Sat night 7/31. I was going to just
poly it but thought it may look better with a coat of Danish oil so the
flecks pop a bit.
Can I apply the oil Wed night or Thursday morning and have it be dry for Sat
morn delivery for the auction Sat night?
If not any other ideas are appreciated.
Thanks

A coat might be OK but be careful and wipe excess. I got into a time
crunch, with a gift quilt stand several years ago. I stained it and
started doing a full danish finish. I wiped several continuous coats
watching for the soaking process to slow. But then I walked away
without wiping all of the excess. It was done during cool weather and
humidity was not an issue but it took 1-2 days to dry.

SFWIW, I use BLO on white oak, have a piece I'm finishing right now.
My experience is that 48 hours is enough drying time; however,
probably takes 2-3 weeks to fully cure before waxing.
YMMV

I've done three coats of polyurethane on a blazing hot day, out in the sun,
in the old days, before you could recoat in less than 24 hours. It was hard
as a rock at the end of the evening. I was impressed. Worried the hell out
of me about heat blisters though and I got none at all. Brushed on it was
very smooth.

One coat, which is not enough, would be fairly dry by then.

Wax usind a 0000 steel wool pad on Saturday afternoon.

Yes

1. IME, oil is reasonably dry after 24 hours.
2. You really need more than one application.

One of the wipe-on oils w/ driers, sure. You'll give it a final
buff/rubdown w/ dry cloth that morning but it should be fine.
I've used the Minwax Tung Oil or Original Oil finishes w/ that or
shorter time w/o problems. Being white oak is better than red as
porosity is much less (w/ red I'd recommend a paste filler first).
The only potential way it could possibly be a problem imo would be if
your humidity is also 90%.

Try (on a scrap) a mix of shellac and danish oil (or even tung oil).
In the limited experience I have doing this, it ...
gives you the pop and depth of finish several coats of oil do
gives you more build in less time
dries quickly
