Danish or teak oil on gun stock

[Rapid7Nick]

For an oil finish, I use Rustins teak oil - their data sheet says that it contains tung oil and is the same as Danish oil except that it does not have the matting agent that Danish oil does, so will build up to a higher sheen.

If I'm finishing an open grain walnut, I use shellac or French polish to fill the pores, then sand off the surplus and oil as normal.

For a gloss finish with all the pores filled, I use a small spray gun to spray Tru oil. Over time, the Tru oil seems to sink in to the wood and gives a classy sort of finish, but any dinks need a sanding and respray.

Used teak oil on arrow shafts for years to waterproof them. Also it has crossed my mind to try teak oil on stock. Will give it a go when a stock requires an oil up.

Hi just to ask if anyone have used either of the above to do a gun stock, Nearly Finnished the sanding etc for a gun stock and was going to send off for some oil for the stock but to be honest I'm off for a couple days and the weather looks crap so I want to source some locally tomorrow, Wilko, What shop, screwfix and toolstation very close to me and wanted to get some oil from either of these shoos to make a start tomorrow, Want to try and keep tge stock same colour or near enough so something clear, Any advice please.

Tru Oil.

Way better than Danish in every way! Imo.
You wont get it in local shops mind.

HTH.

If a walnut stock then just use Boiled linseed oil. Rub in with fingers to build a bit of heat up. Wipe excess off after a short while. Do several or more coats over a few days. When happy go over with Colron finishing wax and buff up.

just be aware if you use Boiled linseed oil that the rag that you use to apply it could catch fire

rags used with vegetable oils should be laid flat or soaked in water & laid flat outside away from combustible materials
