By the time you asked this question, you must have already had too much oil on the wood. Wipe as much of it off as you can. Use a squeegee if there's still that much. Then rub it. Rub it some more. Rub it again, harder. With dry, soft, cotton cloths. Rubbing heats the oil and helps it penetrate, and the dry cloth removes any excess oil. Oil finishes do not really dry. They're not like paint. They soak into the wood, rather than forming a layer on top of it. If it did dry on top of the wood, you wouldn't like the result. It would stay sticky and gummy, and might even grow mildew.

Heating raw linseed oil (under laboratory conditions!) causes it to polymerize and oxidize, making it thicker and shortening its drying time. Again, kids, don't try this at home!
