Use of Danish Oil for Stock Finishing
Has anyone tried using Danish Oil for stock finishing? Until recently I'd never heard of it, but a friend who's into longbows uses it to finish his arrow shafts. He reckons it gives a durable, hard-wearing but silk - to matt finish. I'm in process of finishing a stock and ready to oil, but I'm unsure whether to use linseed oil, tung oil or one of the propriety ones eg: Tru Oil. Linseed oil is readily available and reasonably cheap, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out. The stock is some kind of ? far eastern beech?
What do people recommend? I'm after a more traditional, satin oiled finish if possible rather than a high gloss.
Cheers everybody - datadave
