I used that little brown bottle of "true oil". It is a fast frying oil. I think it did a great job.

Also, with an oil finish, you can awyas touch it up.

Tape off the metal area, the oil is hard to get off once dry.

So what color will that make the stock. I kinda like my blondish color and I'm not sure I want to darken it to much. Also, how do you apply the oil? With a rag? and do you need to do multiple coats? Thanx for the idea about tapeing off the metal, I was kinda wondering about that. lol
