Oil well, instruction need revision

I bought the oil to brush up some furniture and impregnate. Since I have no idea of ​​treating wood, me the package directions was a bit too general: "For all woods and all kinds of treatment, sufficient for 5-10qm, apply with cloth, excess oil to lose weight, after 24h bone dry" What is "excessive"? What is "bone-dry"? How much time you can use it again really? Which wood can I treat? How much do I really need?

Here are the results of my oil treatment:

General:

It was only in the interior wood. I've always cleaned properly with abrasives, let it dry, the oil applied with a cloth, it soak for a few hours, then vigorously wiped and used after 24 hours the first time. There was an pleasant smell of oil, which, however, vanished in not permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with the latest 12h. At the first use I was very careful and have the timber 24 not touched, but you can, if it looks dry on the surface, after a few hours quiet times go and test with your finger over it, how it feels, the leaves on each case no permanent fingerprints or so.

In Detail:

(1)
, Just bought kitchen countertop, oak, open-pore, probably glazed new: furniture
Application: Extremely little oil: a few drops done on a rag, so long rubbed into the wood until cloth was almost dry, only then put new oil
Result: No change in color, even after 2 days, the plate (really one notices only if you know it) still feels minimal sticky, the sticky you but no longer gets wiped
Conclusion: Probably oil had not been the drug of choice, but has (hopefully) also destroyed nothing; I assume that the sticky over time disappear by themselves

(2)
Piece of furniture: coffee table, Wild Beech, oiled, 1 year old, was slightly brighter and had a few scratches
Application: Extremely little oil (see above)
Result: After 1 day minimally tacky, but usable, well-dried after 2 days, it looks like new: has original color assumed scratches are optically no longer recognizable, surface can be wiped off without danger with water and water drops, the pair a stand hours on it, are well organized
Conclusion: A perfect fit

(3)
Piece of furniture: kitchen table, birch, several years old, probably handled at some point, but now almost raw wood
Application: A bit more oil than in the top two cases (I thought, who really need it, also you could make him really nothing broken ^^)
Result: Significant color intensification, wood character wonderfully reappear (looks a bit like just wiped wet), after 1 day still wet and minimally tacky, have good hope that this still goes away
Conclusion: Again, the oil was very helpful

Overall conclusion:

_ (To clean furniture thoroughly, apply little oil, waving wipe vigorously use by 24) My application has proven itself
_ If you are not sure, you should definitely use as little oil as possible! Really use every ounce and oil the cloth up again when he leaves no oily traces more
_ After 24h, the oil is often not yet dry (whatever "bone-dry" means), piece of furniture, however, can already be affected; I would wait longer for reasons of prudence; a second treatment I had dared no sooner than one week
_ The information on the pack "is enough for 5-10qm" is totally an understatement! I would get loose 50sqm oiled so
_ The best it brings what (who would have thought it?) In untreated and originally already oiled woods; in others it has rather little effect, even if they are listed on the package as applications
_ Smell evaporates even with little ventilation quickly (at least if you only lubricates 1 piece of furniture in the room)
