250ml bottle of winsor and newton artist refined linseed oil finished this week.  I did a review upthread of a smaller bottle.  

The only thing that I can add is the bottle shape is brilliant for preventing spills.  But pay attention to the warnings, especially to wipe the mouth and threads of the jar before replacing the cap or it will glue shut.

Congrats

Bookbinding came to my mind first too.

In the video, they are taking an ink making workshop.  I enjoy the parts where they play with additives and modifiers.  The different ways of mark making is very interesting.

The second batch turned out very much like the first but looking at the nail i tossed in with the cones now, I suspect it didn't have much iron in it. Just enough to rust a bit.  Not enough to extract the iron.  For the future, a splash of vinegar at the start would have helped.

Speaking about chemical reaction, it's still interacting with the baking soda, so I will need to let off the gass each day until it's finished.

Anyway, it writes okay with a glass pen.  Not great, but that could be a reflection of my cheap glass pen with the chipped tip.

Ridcully told jokes like a bullfrog did accountancy. They never added up.

The OP hasn't been back in the last 7 years, so it's unlikely they are still doing this.  

Might be worth trying.  Something to try next time perhaps?  

I think I can get two dark batches of ink out of this with the cones whole, so I might be too lazy to try it.  I hope someone can try it and report back how it goes.
