I have not used boiled linseed oil, but if it is tacky, or sticky, you must wait. Can you get the chair in the warm sun? Heat is usually a good way to get it dry.

In the future when using BLO apply let sit for 20-30 minutes and then wipe off as much as you can, changing rags or paper towels as necessary. It will still take 2-3 days to cure enough to be top coated. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but,both the wood and the finish you have picked to use are very poor choices for any out door project.
