Danish oil on traveller woodwork
A member of the French Minor Club has acquired a traveller in vgc, the wood has been treated with danish oil.
We've not used this product, so any tips would be welcome - in particular he asks if he can give the oiled wood a top coat of gloss varnish, or is it best to leave it oiled (& to re-oil it regularly)
The traveller lives in a chilly part of France, not the hot south, and has to be outside a lot of the time
Thaks in advance for your help

Danish oil
When they refer to Danish oil they could be talking about a product called Bondex. This is an excellent product and I have been using it for years on my balcony and gazeebo. Don't have a traveller so I can't say if it suitable. Try this address in France or Google Bondex+paint it:

I'm using Rustin's Danish Oil on my new wood. It goes on very easily, and soaks into the wood,leaving a satin-y finish. So far I've only done two coats, but plan to do eight or ten before taking it out side. I also used two coats of clear Cuprinol before the oil. Btw, it says on the tin that Danish Oil can be used as a base coat for varnish.
