What is oiled?

Oiled is a term used to describe something that has been coated or treated with oil. This process is often used to protect surfaces, such as wood or metal, from moisture and other environmental conditions that could cause damage or deterioration over time. Oiling can also enhance the natural appearance of certain materials and may be used for aesthetic purposes as well. There are a variety of oils that can be used for this purpose, including mineral oil, linseed oil, and tung oil. The type of oil used will depend on the specific properties of the material being treated and the desired outcome. Oiled surfaces may require periodic cleaning and maintenance to prevent buildup and ensure continued protection.
