This is who I meant  above https://www.brewers.co.uk/search?q=Linseed+oil this company is likely to be fairly local as there are a few around Manchester. As @Crofter mention linseed oil or Danish might be a good choice. 

 

You could search on YouTube for different videos of people using the different oils and finishes and see what suits you for cost and looks. 

Thats Lind Seed oil. Sadly they dont tell you much about it, like how long a 500ml bottle will cover, weather you cover it with oil first before painting or visor versor. or dont bother coating it at all, nothing mentioned about drying time

Well it's really hard to give precise instructions about those things. 

How porous is the wood? How saturated do you want to get it? Are you spraying, rolling, or brushing it on? 

Drying time depends on how much you used, ambient conditions, airflow etc. 

 

If you're painting, then don't oil it first. Paint won't stick very well to oily wood!
