Just got done boiling and carding it and it came out a very dark high gloss grayish, blueish color if that makes sense. So I figured It's probly not gonna get any better so I oiled it up and now its sitting till tomorrow and I'll see how it looks when I wipe it down but I gotta say that when I put the oil on it it turned to a blackish, blueish color that I HOPE it will stay. Or at least stay close to the color it is now. Keep your fingers crossed for me guys!
