T. O'Heir has it about right, play around with scrap wood first. Don't get heavy handed with the tool because it is not a one cut and done kind of thing. Very light cuts at first, it does take patience. I don't do much any more because my hands and eyes get tired easily. I used Danish oil and had good luck with it. Practice with your finish first on scrap pieces because some finishes will ruin a job as quickly as a slip of the tool.
