In case your are interested there is a EBay seller who claims to ship to the US. Ships to: Worldwide C $18.50 (13.85USD) Shipping C$ 9.00 (6.74USD) I would ask him for any color you might want. Given demand he might be willing to stock them if he does not already do so. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334598486964

Sadly, I reached out and he is only able to get the light color. The search continues.

Does he order direct? Maybe that will be your only option. Order direct or get somebody to do it for you.

I've heard of Schaftol, but didn't know much about it and never used it. So I did some searching that suggests it is most likely a mostly boiled linseed oil based product that I'd assume contains dryers. I didn't find any list of ingredients, but the cautions about keeping a linen cloth soaked with it sealed in a glass jar to prevent spontaneous combustion strongly suggests a high linseed oil content. It is intended to freshen up old open pore oil based finishes, but apparently can also be used to finish or refinish bare wood.
It is made in five different tints, but it doesn't seem easy or inexpensive to get all of the various tints in the United States. So considering all that, if I felt I really had to have it, but couldn't get the tint I wanted, I think I'd simply try toning some of the light product to the color I desire with an aniline wood dye. It would be best to first dissolve the dye in a small amount of denatured alcohol, and remember that a little goes a long way. Or if I wanted a red tone, I might try tinting it with alkanet root powder, as has been described in many old gunstock finishing Threads here. In any event, a wood dye is better than a pigment stain because the pigment is more likely to obscure grain and figure.

Turns out you can order it directly from the maker. They will ship it directly to your house. I ordered three bottles and it came in about ten days. Price was decent, even with shipping. Their web site has an English version but the order form was a bit tricky as it was still mostly in German. Seems I recall more than I thought from my 1968 German class. I would order it again from them with confidence.

I highly recommend you try Timberluxe No. 2 and their alcohol-based walnut stain. Go to their website and watch the video. JR

Another Canadian source for Schaftol Wood Oil is Bilozir Fine Guns out of Alberta. I've purchased this product from them at the Edmonton Gun Shows. Bilozir Fine GunsI purchased a small bottle of the original Scherell's Schaftol from Bilozir at a small gun show in Alberta about a month ago. Haven't found time to try it out, but I will eventually. _____________ TC
