I know there is no magic bottle, I saw an add and thought, well its time to try an oil finish. I have a provincial boxlock stock that was begging for help, Napiers is from the UK and thought why not! So this is my first oil finish, its not perfect and I never expected it to be, I have a small dull spot and three little bubbles that will probably drive me crazy. But my first attempt ever and Im pleased with the results. Damascus thank you for the link!
