Stock Finish

[usabaker]

I don't want to sound ridiculous here, but be careful with linseed oil. It's probably been mentioned before, but it spontaneously combusts.

That's with any oil, rags with motor oils catch all the time.

Tung oil was a preferred oil, but since the majority of it came from the Philippines, it wasn't available after the Japanese took the islands. Tung oil was generally preferred due to the fact that is left a softer non-reflective finish. RLO was used as a preferred alternative because it was less expensive and more available

Looking for the reference for this please, thank you
