That's quite a thread! I only got through ten pages, but, like XS said, good stuff and "no juvenile peeing". I'm an amateur and have tried/used many of the mixes mentioned. You could call my results "varied".

I'm just finishing up a red oil stock now. The first one I have tried with this new to me technique. I used BLO with ground alkenet root and put on as much as the wood would take over 2 days. Let it sit for a week or so then repeated the process with the root and Daly's see fin sear. I really like it so far. Pics when it is complete.

It really is amazing that this thread could be running for nearly twenty years ????? Then I asked , 'Did anyone have any idea what was in Tru Oil?' Still no replies. In the meantime we have had Damascus's very good input. We used to have Warthog's Purdey Stock Finish which was excellent , but has now disappeared without trace. And surprise ,surprise many stock finishers do actually use Tru-oil as their preferred finish.

If you have a look at the Health and Safety submission sheet for “Tru Oil” it states:- 56% Mineral Spirits. 33% Modified Oil 11% Linseed Oil And it does not need much mental agility to work out what the “Modified Oil” is! If anybody is struggling PM me.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!
