I have done many beautiful woodstoocks, some simply sprayed clear gloss, mostly satin and some with multiple applications of poly like a bar top. They look great but I prefer the less flashy, non reflective and warm look of Tung Oil.

My favorite stocks are the ones that wear nothing other than Tung Oil. I may put a bit of time into the preparation of the wood but as you know there is little time involved to acheive that beautiful Tung oil finish.

It dries hard, is tough and is ready for work. it can be thinned greatly and applied over and over to aid in it's penetration of the wood. It resists water and is ready for work.

Here are a few pics with the new stock. Still need a few more coats of tung oil.
