I do a fair bit of stock work and bluing as well but with the oil that Fiteflite uses I like to give the wood about 20 odd coats and then use danish oil to finish it off. The Danish is waterproof. I am not into a shiny finish so I rub the Danish and leave for a couple of minutes and then rub it off with net curtain material. Do this about 20 times as well and it gives a very nice deep finish. I could do the bluing for you but it would cost a few bucks to get sent by courier both ways.
