[SEL] Saw Outfit Blade finish/now linseed oil/now browning

[Kelley Garcia]

Hi Curt,
I'd say the guys filled you in about linseed oil, both raw and boiled.  As
for browning, you can get the stuff at any good gun shop, as it is made by
Birchwood Casey http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/137718.
Or you can make up your own recipe if you like

Or as some have said, you can just 'piss on it'  (their terms, not mine!)
Personally, I just couldn't bring myself to do something like that!

Whichever way you go, have fun!
