[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 1379080, member: 6152"] I finish all my stocks with a hand rubbed/applied home made brew of tung oil and other ingredients. I was taught the process by a fellow stockmaker years ago, and spent years tweaking it to allow the oil to bring as much patina out of the wood as possible. Every piece takes the oil differently, and you have to let it “talk” to you through the process. Finishing a stock is just like painting a car... it’s all in the prep work and details. If you notice, my stock, the one in the back, has a bit more gloss to it than the two I just made for my sons. I finished theirs in a satin/soft look. I used the same ingredients, just changed the process a bit due to time constraints on theirs. [/QUOTE]
