Str8fencer-
Following your tips and suggestions, I have been reseaching oils and such to begin to put together my own splashes. In doing so, I have found that (If I understand what I have been searching!) green tea oil and camellia oil are the same thing. Is this how you understand it? If so, can I use the same oil I use for rust prevention on my razors, japanese chisels, and saws - or is there a different grade of oil that should be used? Or am I misunderstanding what I've found?

Thanks again, this thread have been very interesting and helpful - Gags
