Hello,

I just finished the long process of stipping the paint off an old bamboo rod ( for those of you who just had shivers run though your body, don't worry! It is an inexpensive rod, that a friend gave to me )

My question is; can I put some lin seed oil on the rod to give it a nicer color, and to give a little humidity back to the rod.
Should I use another product instead?

Any help would be graet, seeing as how this is my first bamboo rebuild.

Thanks, and have a safe holiday season.
