[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 2970405, member: 12911"] I have been using unfinished stocks from Boyds for Years. Normally I would use a laminates stock for its rigidity. This said I have done a few in a natural wood. I have only one in the Black Walnut. In the beginning I used hand rubbed Tung Oil but depending on the color of the stock the Tung Oil can have a slight yellow tint. My more recent projects are now done in hand rubbed Polyurethane which is perfectly clear. Both of these products are available from ACE Hardware and give you a choice between Gloss and Satin finish. I like the Satin Finish. I am a hunter, and I will end up with a scratch or dent in the stock at times and it is easily removed with 00 steel wool or wet rag and an iron and a new wipe with either of these products. If it is too pretty, I feel bad about taking it outside and that's a waste of money. You should be comfortable with your final product. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
