My Curly maple handle seems a little dry to me,it's probably not,would it be OK to use linseed oil,I know it's stabilized wood but this wouldn't hurt would it? Thanks. :)
 
Renwax usually works too. The linseed should be fine, but if the stabilized wood has enough of that plastic filler stuff the linseed will probably just form a tacky film on the surface.
 
Rededge,
It is to my understanding that Peanut oil will go rancid. I would check into this if I were you.
Good Collecting !

Use a good auto car wax, or a good wood wax. Polish with soft cloth. I put a couple of coats on mine then can go out and play all I want to with it and it is fine.
 
I received this as a tip here when I first got my maple OVB... Go to your local Ace Hardware (or equivalent) and look for "Howard Feed-N-Wax" This stuff is great! Absolutely "pops" out the wood grain pattern and deepens the color. It is a mixture of beeswax, carnuba wax and orange oil. It looks great and smells good too!

Next time I am near one of those places I will pick up some of that. That sounds interesting and by whats in it should work great. Thanks for the tip.
