I used to use Antique Oil from Minwax and unfortunately its is no longer available , a local manufacturer make the wipe on variety but thats it. So I though I might have a go at mixing my own. So far not really successful and have looked on the net with about the same success.
So my question is does anybody have an idea of what might be the recipe? Or what the equivalent product out there might be? I use only oil based finishes at present and will most likely stick with them but I ma open to suggestions.

...does anybody have an idea of what might be the recipe? .

Have a look at the safety data sheet (https://paintdocs.com/docs/webPDF.jsp?SITEID=MINWAX&lang=2&cntry=US&doctype=SDS&prodno=027426470002) (linked from Minwax's product page (https://www.minwax.com/en/products/specialty-finishes/antique-oil-finish)) to determine the ingredients, and try to reverse-engineer it from there.

The MSDS do not have the complete contents listed only the hazardous ones for the very reason that somebody will reverse engineer the product
