Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it. Have a great weekend and thanks for the help.

Thank you. I love Danish oil but can't find it hear either. So perhaps the "teak oil" here is the Danish oil. One last question please: what terms can I use to search for dryers to add to pure linseed oil to have it dry faster?

@bowlturner, brilliant it makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot, I love this stackexchange board already! :)

Thank you @AdamDavis. All brilliant answers and excellent points. I'm choosing this as the solution though as it tells bit more and gives bit more ideas for newbies like myself. Cheers to all.

Thank you @bowlturner. I don't understand one thing though: why not sand before gluing? Wouldn't it help to bond easier if sides were coarsely sanded?
