"18 WWII after "personal adaption" (pics)

A magnificent display but do to the precise placement you would need to be an expert knife thrower not to have trouble.
"no longer recommend" noted.
Although the above picture with all the knives has an artistic feel to it which I like :thumbup:.
 
The old English gunmakers saying for Tung oil finishes was "Once a day for a week, once a week for a month,once a month for a year" with regards to building up the layers of oil finish, of course don't forget to buff with 0000 steel wool in between coats as well.

I like using Birchwood-Casey Tru-Oil.
Great Finish, Easily Maintained, Easily Repaired.
And Reccomended by our own Steve Ferguson!

Oh yes, today's oil blends are easy to apply, easy to maintain, and are fairly tough. Birchwood-Casey Tru-Oil :thumbup: is a good one. To fix a scratch or two after cleaning the wood of course is to simply apply another light coat of oil.

One of the best things a pure Tung Oil finish does is bring out the grain in the wood that you can feel. Other folks like to apply their oil/oil blend thick or use polyurethane and lacquer for a glassy smooth rubbery finish. This is OK too it is just another type of preference.

Side note: I don't like to use boiled linseed oil because it is a fire hazard. It will spontaneous combust on you if your not careful with rags and other material it has come in contact with. You must be extra careful with it. To be fair other chemicals I use are pretty dangerous too; I'm just saying.
