Geno, thanks for the clarification.
Also, is your "French Polish" the classic one that uses the rubber with shellac and a few drops of raw linseed oil? There is a very detailed description of this method in James V. Howe's book "The modern Gunsmith" (ISBN: 0-517-38583X).
John M. should pop into this topic with all his wisdom. :-)

P.S.: Geno, as chance would have it, I had started the stock I am experimenting with with linseed oil before I received the Watco Danish Oil from the US. As you point out, it did bring out the contrasting grain very well. JC
