You shouldn't need to oil your cue unless you've worn the original finish over time, but out of the 3 Mike's will be the best. Raw linseed isn't the most hardwearing or moisture resistant finish, Liberon finishing oil is very good or use Danish oil or even a blend of boiled linseed and tung oil

I'm abit confused. Isn't raw linseed oil recommended over boiled?

Some say use raw rather than boiled, with the reasoning being, the driers damage the wood, which imo is nonsense. Boiled gives a more protective finish.

If you have bought a cue from John Parris and also got a bottle of cue oil from him I'd be inclined to use that.

Yes. Falsely.

It is a non drying oil.

Sure, it won't hurt, as most oils won't hurt but if you google raw linseed oil for use in finishing in any form you will find every woodworking professional there has ever been says it is not to be used as a finish. And certainly not over an existing finish.

But like I said, it won't hurt. As long as you wipe it all off the surface, it won't get on your hands.

Not just your opinion Dave, every other woodworking industry agrees.

Boiled linseed is simply raw linseed modified to actually do what it needs it to do to be properly useful.

And that is to dry as a finish on wood.

It should be noted that, eventually, raw will 'dry' to a degree but we are talking a loooong time, weeks/months, not hours/days.
