Tru-Oil & Deft Danish Oil

[Richard Jones]

Was wondering how many folks use Tru-Oil, if any. I have used it on countless gun stocks, and my method is: multiple coats (don't think I've ever used more than 9 or 10), with 4/0 wool in between. I also use 4/0 wool after the last coat, since I like a rubbed look vs. the glossy look that Tru-Oil has after application. Even the gloss that Remington used to use on some of their rifles benefitted from some 4/0 steel wool.......

Also, anyone using the Deft Danish Oil? Supposedly has some additive that is better than Danish oil alone?

Heading to Woodcraft this morning, please pray for me.......... :)

All kidding aside, I always appreciate any prayers that anyone cares to say for me. We all need more of that!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Tru-Oil is a quality product. And, as you say, considered the best for gunstocks. It is just boiled linseed oil but they do something that makes it far and away superior to others on the market. Dunno what the difference is but there is a difference in results. Also expensive.
