that would make it a good choice to lube wooden threads.

Weeeeell, not so much a "finish" as lubrication. Further, as it does not
cure, it picks ups dust and dirt pretty easily. Like the wife's swiffer.

I use it for lubrication on my Norton oilstone rotating bath, its
cheaper than the oil sold for that purpose, and put it in an old
dishwashing liquid bottle and use it on other stones for sharpening
lubrication.
Butcher's block, or anything else that will come into contact with food.

I use mineral oil to lube my cabinet scrapers before burnishing, as a
lubricant when rubbing out a finish with pumice and rottenstone, and as a
lubricant for my rubber when French polishing. Doesn't take much but it
does the trick. I've had the same bottle for 8 years.

Cut it 50/50 with kerosene, and use it as a lubricant on your Arkansas
oilstone for sharpening.

Chapped hands. But don't do it when you need to keep a good grip on
things...

Heat it and have your masseuse rub your shoulders with it while you are
working with your wood.

Eeuw ! This is mineral oil. Not nice stuff for massage oil.
Try grapeseed oil instead.

What is a water butt in the UK? In the States, if I have water butt, it's
time to take some Pepto Bismol.

Lubricant for french polishing
Lubricant for sanding some finishes that tend to clog sandpaper.
Low-temperature thin oily lubricant for some mechanisms - 3in1 goes a
bit thick in the Winter.
Stopping mosquitoes breeding in the water butt
(seals the air off - stops the larvae beathing).
