Some comments on the net state that it does darken, and show household furniture before and after. I don't like most of the differences which are depicted After applying such oil.
No idea how many layers they used, if they can be quantified.
This is an ---Aussie/Brit--- rifle on an Imbel upper receiver, assembled by Century years ago.
Not only does the butt stock look like a different wood type than the handguards (these have clear grain); no visible grain seems to be in the butt.
If BLO does not normally darken walnut, beech or "coachwood", then I will consider it to preserve, but maybe it will add a tiny bit of shine-color?
These three wood types were often used on guns by the British Commonwealth during the "Cold" War.
Mostly checking here on BLO, but is there another (single) recommend oil which does Not require mixing or a long wait after applications? .....Only rubbing in is required?
