I can't under stand why its only one or two I finish them all with the same BLO and they are different woods I have cleaned them off and wax polished them to try to stop it happening again. Anyone come across this problem any advice welcome. :praying:

I find it interesting the way conditions in the UK vary so vastly from those here. So many problems. In the tropics in linen cupboards, the practice used to be to leave an incandescent lamp on continuously that cured their problem.
