Ok mate. If you go on uttings or sportsman gun centre website then give them a call as they sell stock oil kits and they will post it to you. As you say maybe another time.

buze Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I've just ordered a 'spare' walnut stock for cheap, and I think I'm going to use it as a practice piece for a couple of finishes... That 'london oil' vs 'danish oil' idea has been nagging at me a little bit, so I get to try both on the same stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I've just finished a rifle stock in Danish (well, Liberon Finishing oil actually, but the same sort of idea...a blend of oils with a small amount of resin hardner added). The main difference from what I can see is that many specific gun oils contain blends of Walnut and Red Root oils, some also containing Tung oils all to achieve a certain depth of colour and finish, traditional to gun stock finishing. Personally, I like the slight red tinge of red Root oils, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what some of the oils are in the CCL blend for example Some just aren't suitable though. When I first started messing around with oil blends and gunstocks, I used BLO which was a waste of time as it isn't weather resistant and needs frequent topping up. Same with just using Tung Oil. Fine for chopping boards and furniture but if outside, it needed topping up and refinishing fairly often if used on its own. Darker finish than BLO and slightly more durable though. Some still use it despite not being ideal on its own for a longer term finish. The other type of thing I was contemplating for my rifle stocks was some of the hard wax oils (such as a Morrels Eze-oil wax oil). Some only require two or three coats and give a very durable finish and remain weatherproof. Everyone has their own preferences but the choices are indeed growing! Not quite a gunstock, but continuing the musical theme, here's the finish obtained with Liberon on a pair of speakers I made for someone last year: Edited September 21, 2016 by Savhmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) This is the osmo polyx hard wax oil finish in semi-matt I put on the stock I made for my air rifle. About 4-5 alkanut oil costs and then 3 coats of hard wax. Wanted a strong durable finish on it.

winnie&bezza Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) This the stock of my 20b macnab highlander I'm fe-finishing using trade secret stock oil. On the 6th coat at the moment. And yes that is Peter schmeichel about to give it a kiss ha.
