Red oil version for walnut stocks -- Similar to Holland & Holland

[mauser284]

So I hope this is better. I have previously posted images of this stock where it is various shades of milk choclate brawn. THis is after the red oil. It is a bit dryer now than before and this shows the entire stock. It is not in natural sunlight but in what passes for natural light from an LED bulb which is fairly hot. The gray mat is one on my wifes fabric cutting matts.

IF you scroll up 8 or 9 posts I have put up images 3 of them of this stock in the raw. It just has alcohol on it to wet it. It looks like various shades of milk choclate for lack of a better description.

Indeed, I had seen those pictures and assumed those were raw wood and these last two were after an application of the dye.

My questions were does the wood get darker with additional applications of the dye or is one sufficient? What are you going to use as a finish topcoat?

The color on the last two pictures is what I am hoping for.
