In my business, I used a lot of sprayed Laquer for finishing cabinets, furniture and millwork that I produced. In this day and age, there are many good finishes out there for such things as gunstocks that will provide for a nice waterproof finish. Every once in a while I woulds be called upon to make replacement pieces for antique farm equipment - usually out of white oak due to the nature of the species to resist rot - 9 times out of 10, the customer would request a BLO finish application unless it was going to be painted - they knew what they wanted so I did as asked. I always kept it on hand in my woodworking/custo millwork business because every once in a while, I would have a need for it but it was never my "preferred" finish. it's been used by many for many years for gunstock finish but it will not provide a true waterproof finish. If properly applied and rubbed in over many coats, it can provide a nice finish but it all depends on what you are applying it to. I used Formbys Tung Oil.its sticky and messy, but you basically sand the stock smooth first, then you soak the stock with tung oil a few times, then you sand the stock while wetting the sandpaper with liberal amounts of tung oil with fine sand paper.keep rubbing the sawdust loaded with tung oil back into the stock.If i remember right it took several coats.like 4 or 5 with really fine sand paper.you are filling the pores of the wood with the tung saturated sawdust.until you just end up rubbing the sawdust-tungoil mixture with a soaked rag into the stock.but by that time you are REALLY packing the pores.making them solid.I think you whipe it down lightly at the end, and rub it with your hands after that.makes a smooth beautiful hand rubbed finnish.good y it on some older gun s messy.take off all the hardware first and the buttpad-plate first."raw" linseed oil will get gummy - boiled linseed oil can be worked into the wood in repeated applications - I thin it with "real turpentine", not the new artificial turpentine. ESPECIALLY if its that hard shiny stuff.for the atucal finnish application you want once your ready.here is what I did. I have done it and it is messy and time consuming.but worth while.the biggest part s removing the old finnish.
