[QUOTE="gfercaks33, post: 2840267, member: 5457"] Lucas to your reply from the last thread, I do have an understanding of staining and refinishing but I always want to learn more. I have tried a tung oils but it was too yellow for what I was aiming for, it was also very cheap and low quality. I think on the stock I'm going to try blo on this one because I'm going a dark color so I'm just wanting to protect and have a sheen. I think I'm with you on tru oil as I have had to really build it up and than cut and buff the imperfections out, the best luck I had with the tru oil is to hand rub the oil in. Here are a few stocks I have refinished and what I used. This was a mosin stock, I rubbed the wood with iodine to give it a red color and finished with an amber shellac.
