Leicpigeon1990 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The stock on my weihrauch hw35 is looking alittle tired, scratched and dented. I'm just wondering once stripped of old finish and dents sorted out, will it look better with just a linseed finish or shall I add an undetcoat of say walnut varnish to the wood first to darken it alittle, I have heard of people using alkenite root oil to add a red colour but can't find this anywhere. I'm asking this before I get to putting the linseed on. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
