    Hi there,

    I’m restoring a hold <span style=”font-family: Georgia, ‘Times New Roman’, Times, serif; font-size: large; line-height: normal;”> </span><span style=”font-family: Georgia, ‘Times New Roman’, Times, serif; font-size: large; line-height: normal;”>Stanley (type 19 1948-1961).</span>

    For the nob and handle I’m thinking on use linseed oil and some polyurethane varnish. Anyone recommend anything?

    This will be a working plane in my shop

      I have found that MinWax Antique Oil Finish (red rectangular quart can with white script) is a great finish for planes.  Available at discriminating local hardware stores or also at Rockler and Woodcraft online.  It is a quick drying oil, high build, but leaves a satin finish.  Very user friendly.  I have been frustrated by some other oil finishes (Danish Oil, Watco), which polymerize in the can after opening.  Not so with this finish.  BTW I have tried all of the tricks known to man to prevent  polymerization.  More of a problem with the higher gloss oils.
