        Good point MM, although Gosport is not famous for its Beavers (beavers yes), we do have a significant population of Foxes…...

                              I wonder what kind of oil is in Obenauf's… I don't think it's neatsfoot, though neatsfoot oil does tend to darken leather quite a bit

                                I think that part of the reason that the Ober Oil sample is so dark is that it is very fluid, so it soaks in big time….

                                      Can you do a suppleness, bend or texture test to see which has softened more?
