BLO or oiled wood

[Edward Horton]

The furniture or stocks were hot dipped in a tank of raw linseed oil during manufacture and during WWII and some time after the war only raw linseed oil was issued and applied by the troops on Enfield stocks.

Also as a side note it took oil or coal to heat the raw linseed oil to process it into boiled linseed oil and the fuel was needed elsewhere for the war effort.

The baking of white bread made from bleached flour was also banned from being made in England during the war, as the nutritional value of the bread was not worth the fuel used to make it.
