So, any idea John? The leather and the wood will play off each other. I'm liking the blue denim for the end spacer so far. :)
 
Some of it is lighting, some is what its finished with and a lot is the piece of leather.

I'm going to use Montana Pitch Blend on these. I recently got some of their oil and it's awesome, that combined with their pitch blend, might be the be the perfect combination. That will probably make these on the darker side. Your hand grease is the best stuff to use!

Most oils stink, especially neatsfoot. Linseed is another one that will stink. I'm pretty much sold on the Montana pitch blend stuff.
