Default Polyurethane Finish vs Oil

Due to 'rippling' ( shrinkage ? ) of the original poly finish on one of my 12 Ga. Repros, I have contracted a local 'smith to strip and apply a 'London' oil finish.

I have received some alerts / updates, that the job is approaching a conclusion.

Am a little apprehensive, re: the result / what it is that I should expect to receive ....

( In general, I prefer a poly finish to cope with the litres of sunscreen that I apply to my face; sunscreen has had a detrimental affect to some of my oil finished guns. )

Any other folk with experience in such matters, who perhaps could assuage my concerns ?

Should, a replacement of the original poly finish with a quality oil finish .... ALWAYS be expected to enhance the figure / grain in the wood ?

P.S. The subject gun has gorgeous figure.
