Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil Gun Stock Finish, 8 oz Liquid

Description

There's a reason Tru-Oil shows up in gunsmith shops, on refinished heirloom rifles, and even on guitars and violins. This 8 oz bottle from Birchwood Casey is the same time-tested formula that's been the professional's pick for gun stock finishing for more than three decades. It uses a unique blend of linseed and other natural oils that soak into the wood, then build a tough, clear, hard surface that protects the stock and makes the grain pop. It dries fast between coats, resists water damage, and holds up over the years without clouding, yellowing, or cracking.

What Tru-Oil Does for Your Stock

Applied right, Tru-Oil penetrates deep and forms a durable film that both seals and shines. A lot of folks use their fingertip to rub thin coats into the wood, letting each one dry before knocking it down with fine steel wool or wet-or-dry paper, then adding more until the depth looks right. It's just as handy as a sealer under butt plates, recoil pads, and inside inletted actions, where it keeps moisture from creeping into bare wood and doing damage.

Getting the Look You Want with Tru-Oil

The finish you land on is up to you. Build up several full-strength coats for a glossy, deep look, or buff the final coat with steel wool and rubbing compound for a softer hand-rubbed satin luster. Because it goes on in thin layers, you have a lot of control over how much shine you end up with, which is why it's a favorite for both fresh builds and bringing a tired old stock back to life.

While it earned its name on firearms, Tru-Oil is right at home on furniture, wood turnings, tool handles, and other fine woodwork. Whether you're finishing a new stock, touching up a favorite hunting rifle, or working on a muzzleloader kit, this 8 oz bottle gives you enough to cover a full project with plenty to spare.
