Staining of hulls.

[serpe]

I would like some input as to what I'm thinking about the finish of the lower hull on my HMB Endeavour. I use a mineral oil from IKEA to treat my teak table and chairs and was wondering if that would be appropriate to use on the lower hull, or maybe a linseed oil finish, then sprayed with a flat coat. I realize that this would alter the colour of the walnut planking making it darker. Further to this would an air brushed flat coat on most of the model be a wise decision?
