The first interest I had in danish oil was after watching Bill Grimbines first bowl making video. I kind of follow what he did, including the liquid refreshment for me.
First, dont wipe it dry until the end of this whole process. Soak the first coat on and keep the wood wet for a few minutes -let it set wet. Come back and make the bowl wet again after 15 minutes, repeat in 15 minutes, and a final time after 15 minutes. I let it set for another 10 minutes or so and wipe it dry. My bowls are always smooth. I haven't had roughness issues. The wood I use is all North American hardwoods. I did one Mesquite bowl and it turned out smooth.
