[QUOTE="BillR, post: 486005, member: 462"] Tru oil and Tung oil have better waterproofing but I like the looks of the older linseed oil finish better. Not as glossy. I spent 20 some years building traditional ML's and used the same method that was used in the past to do the finishes and grew to love the looks of those finishes. Nice soft warm glow to them rather than the glossy look. Something I forgot to add is when I redo the finish each year I would rub it down pretty good with 0000 steel wool prior to doing the finish over again. It prevents the slobbery look of way too much finish. That looks bad no matter what finish you use. [/QUOTE]
