Cedar board, coating it with raw linseed oil

Bought a cedar board (1" by 8" by 8 feet) to use as an east edge for the northwest bed ($27 + tax at HD).

Today applied a first coat of raw linseed oil (~$21 + tax at HH for one tiny liter).  Applied it with a rag, board supported by plant pots, newspaper underneath.  Used a fresh rag to wipe off excess after 30-40 minutes.

Now to wait a week or so for it to dry, then apply a second coat... then wait again, before finally putting into the garden.

Bought 6 x 2-foot rebar stakes (~$5 each + tax at HD) to use to support it in place.
