Looks fine, I'd go with oiled finish any day otw

I heard a way of putting a shiny polished finish: apply oil to stock with hands, dust hands with talcum powder then rub it in then take the talcum powder off then do again. talcum powder is apparently just fine pomice powder and that how they polish stock on the london gunmakers.

not sure if it works but when i have a spare minuite i'll give it a go, and let you know
