[QUOTE="Nomad8961, post: 2970770, member: 108865"] You need to fill the pores. I like to use super fine sand paper and true oil. I can’t remember if I did 400 or 600 grit with true oil. Apply the oil by hand messaging it in well applying enough to keep a slightly moist look all over the stock. Once you have it all over the stock use the sandpaper on the wet oil and “sand” the oil along the grain. You will see the oil and wood dust start to make a different color and a paste of sorts. Sanding the oil/ paste mixture presses the mixture deep into the pores. Let dry for 24-48 hrs. I do this several times until it has a glass like appearance. The last coat I don’t sand it in, once that coat is dry I buff with compound and a fine clean new rag. [/QUOTE]
