Welcome, from SW Ohio. Bladesmiths will always be welcome, in my book.
I'm sure you'll find the information you seek, starting with the archived threads.
Who knows, you may even catch the ML fever. It's proven contagious before.
 
Welcome from New York State's Central-Leatherstocking region.

I'm terrible at the metal work, but I worked a bit as a cabinet maker, my father-in-law was a cabinetmaker, and I treasure the wood and finishes of "proper" firearms. Laurel Mountain Forge stains and drop-at-a-time hand rubbed boiled linseed oil, maybe 15 applications. Followed by a rubbing of BriWax of a proper hue.
 
Welcome from Western North Carolina USA. Not a blade smith, but familiar with the craft. Old man made knives and as a kid I was his ‘helper’, though I never really caught the bug.

Please post photographs of your work. It’s always interesting to see what there is to learn.

My name's Soren and I'm from Perth, Western Australia. Full disclosure: I don't own a muzzleloader and it's unlikely that I will in the future. Why am I here, you might ask. Well, I was referred to some fantastic information about traditional stock finishing on here, and I'm sure the forum will prove equally useful a resource for steel treatment. I'll be using this information when restoring tools and making knives. I'm not completely disinterested in muzzleloaders and firearms in general - the mechanisms are fascinating to me as an unemployed mechanical engineer, and I used to live next to the bloke that came up with rollsizing machinery for refurbishing brass ammunition cartridge cases for precision reloading. However, living where I do, my interest is likely to remain purely intellectual rather than practical so I probably won't be very active here but I don't want to upset the admins by lurking without introducing myself.
