Yeah - but it's high in linolenics and linoleics; think of how healthy your wood will be!

Never heard of stand linseed oil.

Just boiled linseed oil

The term “boiled linseed oil” has referred to linseed oil mixed with metallic drying agents, since at least the late middle ages.
Mixing linseed oil with metallic drying agents was likely one of the only reasons linseed oil wound up in widespread use, particularly in Northern Europe.


“Boiled linseed oil is a combination of raw linseed oil, stand oil (see above), and metallic oil drying agents (catalysts to accelerate drying).[51] In the Medieval era, linseed oil was boiled with lead oxide (litharge) to give a product called boiled linseed oil.[52][page needed] The lead oxide forms lead "soaps" (lead oxide is alkaline) that promote hardening (polymerisation) of linseed oil by reaction with atmospheric oxygen. Heating shortens its drying time.”
