Had a pop at oiling stock sanded back and oiled it's a lot lighter colour wise but still might go back and stain or even use dark lacquer happy with it tho :-)

Thanks Kernal it was rough so I figured I can't mess it up too bad 😅 definitely a lot smother

Looks good so far. I would be a bit careful about how dark if you decide to stain it because, in my experience,  it`s easier to darken a light stock than it is to make one lighter. ATB Ken.

Looks nice,Alkanet oil will make the grain pop and darken the wood. Ideally needed as first coat but it will work if applied later. Reapply your chosen finishing oil once the alkanet has soaked in for a few days.

Slippery Dicks alkanet oil is undiluted so you don't need much.It's what I use.
Most others are diluted but come in larger bottles
