David.evans 5,323 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 so if you use a lighter oil the stock wouldnt be so dark. am i right mac ? 1 Quote Link to post
Durham John 693 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Mac Do you remember saying you chose a bland stock when you first got it cos you knew it was going black. Well I think the grain run is going to look stunning mate it flows right through the stock not just front or butt. Few coats of oil and it will be top notch. 1 Quote Link to post

vizlauk 1,568 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 The end result will tell its own tail ! The stock will darken down on each coat of oil, I think it may take 3 to 4 coats to get the result Mac is looking for , after each coat has been left to soak in for an hour the excess will be rubbed of with a lint free cloth, then left to go off for 24hrs, then a light rub down with 0000 wire wool, then a wipe with a damp cloth before the next coat of oil ! That's from his joiner mate who mustn't know nowt about hardwoods or finishes ! Quote Link to post
