You are aware that "Danish Oil" is a mixture of linseed oil,varnish and thinner. The reason I mention this is any bench I have ever seen with even a very thin film finish starts to flake off almost at once. The people who originally built your style of bench would have used linseed oil or no finish at all.

The finish i have used on all the benches I have built (5) is white parafin mixed with turpentine (not paint thinner) and BLO.
