Thread: More advise wanted re finishing a stock

Dan - I tend to use sandpapers from med to superfine finishing grades (1200) to remove old varnish and prep surfaces. Don't touch the checkering with paper. Wire brush may be fine if its old. Then its 5-6 light coats of Danish oil which has driers in it. Creates a very nice smooth dry oil finish. Lately I've been cheating on the sanding and using fine plastic pellet bead blaster at mate's garage - this strips old finish off perfectly and needs only fine sanding prep before oiling.

If you haven't done this b4 lockdowns over, give me a whistle and I will do it for you. Have done heaps of them.
