One of my older projects, which I label as a semi-successful one. Its a old English rook rifle which I sanded down to 2000 grit and steel wool.

After sanding it down I applied a couple of layers of CCL red oil then quite a few layers of Bolied linseed oil with balsamic turpentine. When the wood was saturated I applied about 5-6 coats of CCL gunstock oil with burnishing in between coats.

My mistake was that I were to eager between coats and in some angles I can find that the top coat seems to bee a bit milky- probably due to me not letting things harden enough in between coats. There is also some residue from the steel wool in the finish..
