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 on it to and a good rub with a cloth to give it a smoother finish.
Creosote and linseed was a standard Australian finish for the SMLE and SLR woodwork. It has a very distinctive smell, even after many years of storage.
Didn't this guy invent that finish... ?

Yes, but you don't want to see how he applied the solution.Quote:
