Well, my plans changed.

The forecast shows temperatures will be dropping over the weekend, so that means I need to speed this up and get the oil finish, well, finished. The colder it gets, the slower things dry. If I do a coat today (Weds), Thurs, and Friday, I'm good.

Here's the stock getting its first coat of BLO. The process is the same as the handguard, except I can rub harder with my palm, as I have a lot of flat surfaces to work with. I'm rubbing the BLO in to the point where the surface is almost warm.

Wipe off any excess after 30 minutes, and repeat tomorrow.
