Gun stock finish

[Coney 3]

Looking for a product that will provide a tough, clear, hard finish that will protect and enhance a walnut stock ensuring a water repelient film that will not rub off, any suggestions folks?

 

Regards

You can use most oils to treat your stock, Lard works particularly well. Buff it into the wood using various grades of wire wool (starting with course and finnishing with fine).

This method is very cheap and labour intensive but it does produce a good finnish, You can always top it up with a bees-wax polish but i wouldnt bother.

Try it out on a small area first, Because if you start and get a little too giddy there may be no turning back.

Teal oil/walnut oil I used to be a cabinet maker/french polisher Oil will be perfect apply it as follows ( to bare wood) once a day for a week once a week for a month once a month for a year and every year after that it will look and feel great and be totally weather resistant.
