Failing Tru oil, another stock finishing oil we used to use on our shotgun and rifle stocks was Walnut Oil, but – in all honesty – Danish oil is just as resilient to wear and you can achieve the same level of finish as Tru oil within the same span of time, using the same methods and degree of effort. 😉
The following pictures show the re-finished front nob and handle on a Record #010 that I did over the past weekend.
This involved;
1. Â Remove old finish
2. Â Stain woodwork
3. Â Danish oil x 3 wiped on coats
Steel wool 0000 was used between each stage and the finish becomes increasingly glossy with each coat applied. 🙂
