There are many ways to finish/refinish a fine wood stock. There is the easy way, and the not so easy way. In my opinion, the hand rubbed is the most durable and the most attractive . It is however, one of the most time consuming methods.

The end results make it worthwhile and if it gets scratched, it can be repaired with little effort because it is not a surface treatment. The fact that it soaks into the wood also makes it very weather resistant.

I am not pushing any one product, but this is one of the easiest to use and very forgiving and easy to repair if you mess up.

Here is a VIDEO that conforms to the procedure that I like to use, and is a good tutorial if it is the first time to do this type of work.





Don't get in a hurry and repeat the process until you get the results you like.
