spike25blue 55 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I Reccomend tru oil it's what I use on all my knives & catapults It's a lot easier to use than walnut oil or Danish oil etc With walnut oil the key is to apply very little at a time it you will get a sticky residue So I would go for tru oil buddy it's what they use on many gun stocks and shotguns Atb rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spike25blue 55 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Best way with tru oil is to apply a couple of costs allowing to dry between each coat then cut back with 0000 wire wool then reapply as many coats as needed to get the finish you want Allow to dry between each coat Atb rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
