I have been trying the Slacum formula for the past couple of weeks, on a Swedish Mauser, circa 1900, with a really pretty piece of wood. All I have done was clean and remove a few scratch marks where some previous owner had sanded across grain.
I am basically refreshing, not refinishing.

I do not want a shine, just a glow with this piece of wood which has some tiger stripe, and a blond crescent of sapwood, and a long dark mineral streak.

This formula is achieving my goal, I apply a drop or two and rub in well, let it sit a few hours or overnight, then reduce the shine with a coat of floor wax and buff out. This tends to leave a softer wax shine/glow than leaving the Slacum oil to dry on it's own.

I like it
