OLG Yes walnut stain diluted down with alcohol. Each coat of linseed oil made the stock and forend richer coloured. They were put in the sun (hot and high UV's) and turned every hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Devil Dale Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Very nice. A good butt wrap will help protect that shiny finish from LT, ULT, and restaging table debris. But with linseed oil, repair is also pretty easy. Nice job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Some judicious steaming can “heal” many of the dings on stock and fore end finished with good oil! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I've done 30 or 40 stocks with linseed oil. I like to dilute the first few coats with thinner so it penetrates easier. I also like a satin finish instead of the "shine". I use powdered pumice and light mineral oil rubbed to give the stock a satin, less glossy finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
