Is it favourable for wood, if I (after the general heating
process) rub it in with prefarred vegetable fat?

If you heat wood enough (well over 200 centigrade) then the
finish applied won't matter much. Note that heating will affect
the structural integrity and strength.

I'll consider that, thank you very much.


He is joking, if you get your wood that hot, it burns.

For a serious answer to your question, there are several plant based
oils that are used on wood, such as Tung oil and Linseed oil. I
wouldn't use an edible oil such as soybean or Canola oil on wood, as
they may affect appearance, and ability to apply glues to it.
