BIRCHWOOD CASEY TRU-OIL® GUN STOCK FINISH

Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil® Gun Stock Finish has been the professional’s choice for stock finishing for over 30 years.

There is no better oil finish!

Use as a sealer on natural wood.

Tru-Oil will dry hard making it an excellent finish for knife handles.

Birchwood Casey gun stock finish has a unique blend of linseed and natural oils that dry fast and will not cloud, yellow, or crack with age.

It brings out the richness and beauty of fine woods and gives you a tough, long-lasting finish that resists water damage.

Non-Stained Woods

1 First, apply Tru-Oil Gun Stock Finish to the entire stock and allow it to penetrate the grain. Don’t rub it in, just let the wood absorb it. When the stock has soaked up all it can absorb, wipe away the excess and let dry for 24 hours (Read Carmichel’s Tip below).

2 Working on 4" x 4" sections, coat the area with Tru-Oil Gun Stock Finish

This wet sanding creates a slurry of wood dust and finish that works its way into the pores. You’ll feel and hear the sandpaper cutting. If the finish gets tacky, simply add more Tru-Oil Finish.

3 Continue wet sanding 4" x 4" sections until the entire stock is covered in the slurry. Work it in small circles with your fingers to drive it into the grain.

4 Finish by wiping the excess slurry off with a paper towel cross grain. This ensures good grain filling.

Carmichel’s Tips:

To dispense Tru-Oil® Gun Stock Finish, poke a small hole in the foil cover. This will help prevent your supply from skinning over inside the bottle.

 5 Let the stock dry for approximately 24 hours. Then, repeat the process if necessary to fill remaining open pores (Steps 1-4), and wipe away all slurry when complete.

6 After waiting 24 hours, proceed by smoothing any imperfections with 280- or 400-grit sand paper as needed, along with extra-fine steel wool. Wipe with tack or service cloth.

7 Your stock is now totally filled, protected, and ready for the finishing coats.
