BIRCHWOOD CASEY - Tru-Oil Stock Finish Kit

Truoil always turns out beautiful

I'm not finished yet but it's easy to use and the stock is looking good so far.

My first time I bought and used this kit, I looked over the instructions and went with that, I re-did the stock on 22 and was amazed, if stain is to dark just add a lil water until you get it where you want, I used a swab and applied and then came back with a damp spounge and blend the stain, if not what I wanted I applied more, the tru-oil is amazing I've bought 3 more bottles, I use on my selfbows, axe handles, knife handles, walking sticks and coffee table, just follow the instructions that comes with kit and it will come to ya, I wish they sold the stain separately in bigger container...you can't go wrong with this kit... I added the 22 I re-did and a marlin 60 22 and a old HnR 12, that 12 guage stock was sanded, and then just used tru- oil, no stain that's the color of wood...

Refinished two old 22 rifles with the contents (plus some extra sand paper). The tru-oil was/is excellent and does a great job sealing the stock, as well as results in a perfect finish with a little elbow grease and patience. The walnut stain was not so great, but I have limited experience with water based stains. After multiple applications at varying strengths on an old Savage #3, finishing at full strength and on the light wood of that rifle it looked more maple-ish. The tru-oil has a bit of a smell, but nothing requiring a vent hood or respirator. Great kit!

This kit can make a 1st time re-finisher look like a pro with 30yrs of experience! I used this kit on a Stevens model 86c bolt action .22 built in 1943. This kit works so easy and so well, that what looked like an old 50 cent stock now looks like a million bucks! I am restoring for sentimental reasons as this was my dad's 1st gun! Going to give it to mom for Christmas and Birchwood Casey is the way to go!
