I've had a go on a repro Bren Mk2 stock and it took an age for the mix to be absorbed but its gone quite dark, I may try some more BLO icon

on it to and a good rub with a cloth to give it a smoother finish.

Creosote and linseed was a standard Australian icon

finish for the SMLE and SLR woodwork. It has a very distinctive smell, even after many years of storage.
