    Boiled linseed gives a nice finish, but will spot when it gets wet. Trueoil is pretty good, I rate it for something that does what it says on the bottle. There are more complicated ways of doing it, but bang for buck trueoil is pretty good.

    I made this stock from walnut from scratch. The finish is trueoil added is holding up really well. If it wears, you can steel wool it...then reapply...easy as.
