[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1095780, member: 24284"] Petroleum oil will eventually ruin wood. Linseed oil or a darivative is the prefered "oil" for wood. Today, most factory stocks have some variation of a 'poly', synthetic coating and a 'wipe-down' with a clean, dry cotton cloth is all that's needed. Those custom "hand rubbed" oil finishes, on custom made wood stocks, are with linseed blended oil (usually has hardeners added). And that's [I]boiled[/I] linseed oil as the other type won't dry. As mentioned above, Murphys Oil Soap used sparingly, works well as a 'cleaner' for those stocks made before 'poly' coatings became the norm. [/QUOTE]
