People can mix linseed with paint and other varnishes, Make Your Own Oil/Varnish Blend
GREAT stuff! Used a lot of finishes since the 70's and that is now my go to finish. Usually with Arts French Red, which is the only filler I use up until Arts never used a wood filler, used a finish slurry instead to fill the grain. The combination of the 2 is outstanding IMO. Has held up well for me in all types of conditions for quite a few years now. Long carries, rain and snow. Still haven't had to touch it up.
Those are pre checkering photos. I had them checkeredbgy. You should investigate "stippling". Dremel tool and a little patience.Looks as good as checkering
Using Art's French Red stain and filler has faded away over the years. If you want to bring out figure and color of wood nothing better. I used it on model 12 trap & skeet wood before I sent to John Durkin @ Winchester custom shop for B carve patterns. In fact, John called be about the color, it was better than the stain he used @ Winchester.GREAT stuff! Used a lot of finishes since the 70's and that is now my go to finish.

I have never heard of this product.Waterlox sealer finish is also a good wipe on product. You’ve got about 10 minutes to get it right before it sets up, tacks up. Can be wet sanded and buffed after the proper cure time.
Seems to be a neat alternative to renewing worn checkering.bgy. You should investigate "stippling". Dremel tool and a little patience.Looks as good as checkering
