Thread: Wood scale oil?

I will have to try that oil outback! I Have been using minwax and it works fine but I am looking for that extra shine like you achieved.

You'll love what it does for wood.
Really brings out the grain and natural colors of wood. And a extremely durable finsh and impervious to water. Hey... It was made for gun stocks.

Yup, Tru Oil is one of those mixtures I was talking about. Its got the oils that sink into your wood and make it "glow/pop" plus a laquer mixed in that leaves a waterproof/hard glassy finish on the outside. It's a great finish if that's what you're going for, but it does end up looking a little bit "artificial". I've used it on a couple guitars, a bass, and a few gunstocks. It's easy-peasy and leaves a great looking finish, but lately I've been finishing stuff with pure linseed or tung oil to leave that soft, "natural" look.
