@The bomb schaftoil comes in 2 or 3 different shades
You can do the first few coats with one of the dark ones and when is what you like then keep coating with the golden one to finish it all off

I will post an image soon

It's usually on trademe from a guy in Blenheim

Thanks will look into it,bloody lockdown gonna slow down the process though..

I have some tru oil here and some stock wax but they won’t darken the wood at all will they?might try a bit under the recoil pad and see.
