So I was curious on all of your thoughts on this one: best finishing processes for both metal and wood. Now, my own experience with metal finishing is mostly parkerizing (a decent slathering of manganese phosphate does wonders for look of a 50 year old makerov that was apparently stored in a goddammed battery) but I've done a bit of bluing. I was curious about the extremely competent people here's take on the subject of metal finishing in particular because it's a realm I'm not super familiar with. On the subject of wood finishing I've had a fair bit of experience finishing/refinishing wood (my father's a contractor and he's encouraged me to work with wood my whole life) and I was curious about what YOU guys think looks best. I remember getting my first mauser at sixteen and many, many hours in a solvent tank for the metal... the wood, on the other hand (lovely walnut) was a breeze with a few pints or so of lindseed oil and a lot of scrubbing. Still, tips and tricks would be appreciated, as well as what you guys think looks best.

Oh, also just got a new kiln. Muhahhah
