The turpentine is for making the oil easier to spread and mix with the tar. I find it easiest to mix the turpentine and oil first, then add the tar. I have no idea where you would get tar in, I'm assuming the US? Here you can pretty much buy it in any paint store. Maybe something like this could work?. Don't know if it's the exact same, but it does say "100% light pine tar". No idea what the "light" means. If you somehow come across coal tar, stay the hell away. Unlike wood tar, coal tar is highly cancerogenic.
Turpentine is also great for thinning linseed oil paint. If you ever choose to try it, it's rewarding but time-consuming and a little tricky. But once you get the hang of it you'll have a nice smooth finish with a hard, lacquer-like surface and sheen. I would say compared to lacquer, it scratches easier but is not as sensitive to dents. The common advice is to go thinner-to-thicker, i.e turpentine/oil ratio 1:1, then 1:3 and the last coat pure oil paint.
Turpentine is made from pine trees and unlike mineral spirits/thinner it is biodegradable. Keep the stuff away from kids though, because it smells delicious. Like a mix between gasoline, forest, and soda pop.
It's a little-known fact even among the Swedes, but Sweden has a very rich culture of wood preservation techniques.
