yeah, what they said (about rottenstone and pumice) :)... It is a long held gunstock finisher and fine wood finisher practice to use rottenstone or pumice to get that really warm surface finish and/or cut down the gloss without as others pointed out scratch the surface.
And, it is great to see others pipe in that oils take months to cure and one should not be in a hurry to wax and buff them.
My buddy just called me and said he is putting on his fourth coat of tung oil on an old gun stock he is refinishing... I converted him to tung oil recently... On the phone he keeps saying to me: "You won't believe how great this stock looks now!"
(Geepers I'm the guy who convinced him to try tung oil! hahaha)
Just another happy convert... although I do know there are many out there who don't like Tung Oil. Everyone has preferences. It's all good.
