![]() On the other hand, Tung oil is a natural wood oil gotten from the Chinese Tung tree. But, what’s the difference between these two wood oils?ĭanish oil is a synthetic wood oil gotten by combining different types of wood oils with a solvent, usually varnish. Just 20 min ago I put down a 95% 22 hornet it had a stained varnished stock on it.Danish and Tung oil are two of the most used wood oils. Your comment does not back up any facts, I owned and still own quite a few. Were there some finished this way.I am sure they were-guns in that era had great amounts of variability, but I would say the vast majority, were varnished and stained. ALL the ones I owned were finished in some sort of varnish-most had a stain put on them too to give the wood an "even" look. Please expound.I have owned only 27 pre 64 model 70s.over the years from very rare ones like 35 remington, 22 hornet super grade and, 300savage to fairly common ones like 220 swift and 30-06. I have owned many pre 64 M70s and all had varnish/shellac on the stock.Ĭheck with Winchester. No they used varnish.shellac what every you want to call it.oil finish is not for production rifles.and it was very much a production rifle.even in the good ol days. It isn't a fast finish and it takes time to cure, but it really looks nice and you can build a finish and fill the pores in the wood for a smooth glassy result. Well, I had some of that, so I used it on the Ruger stock. Some used wiping varnishes (Watco Danish Oil and Minwax Antique Oil are that). I went online to see what folks were using these days. Then I decided to redo the finish on my old Ruger M77, which I had put a rubbed BLO finish on some years ago. I started using it on wooden table and things that I made. He said it was Waterlox Original in Satin. I was visiting him and asked what finish he used. He's famous, and famous raises the price. He makes small tables that sell for thousands of dollars. I have a distant relative that is a pro woodworker. Much rather use the Waterlox Original in Satin. I used to be a fan of Boiled Linseed Oil on stocks. Shellac makes a good stock finish, and scratches should be easy to repair. The reason it's called French Polish is the application method. French Polish is Shellac, not oil of any type. ![]()
