Was At A Loos End

[bigmac 97kt 13,796]

I was at a loos end tonight so i thought i would rub the hw100 down and re oil her as she has not been done for a while

 

the oil used is tung oil

 

gave her a quick rub over first with the 0000 wire wool to remove all the old sh*t that has built up on her

 

put the tung oil on thick , you let this stand for an hour to an hour and a half then wipe it off and buff the stock then let stand until the next day to dry

I have TWO ex wives. The last one gave me an ultimatum. "The guns or me" ....

 

I'm still here and still shooting. I'm lucky that Helen totally gets what I'm about and let's me, be me. And I let her be her. That's what is should be about.

Hi Mac

Is that saturated/wet in oil?

Or is that a high gloss finish?

 

It's like the finish that true oil gives.

[bigmac 97kt 13,796]

Its saturated in oil Davy it had a lot of dry spots on the stock as iv not oil,d her for some time so i soaked the bloody thing in it then let it stand for an hour and a half then wiped it of and buffed the stock then left it until this morning

 

no more dry spots lol

Looks spot on.

 

Sorry for jumping on your thread but can i ask, rather than rubbing it down with the fine grade wool what would you clean it with? Just a damp cloth and then dry it?

If its a wall nut stock all ways use the wool then oil as this will keep the grain good on the stock

 

if you keep wiping her down with a damp cloth she will get dry spots on her and wont look as good

 

but it is ok if its a beech stock as the oil that is on them sets hard like lacquer

 

hope this helps

That is nice without the stippling. The grain looks good and, I like the knot on the side.

What's the beef with this your doing then Mac?

 

Wouldn't mind you rubbing down some of my wood... If you up for it of course...

 

That oily finish is just right up my ally
