Ok guys, a lot of you have extensive experience with finishing wood and refinishing stocks so I could use some help.
I have a new Polish laminated wood AK stock set. Id like to protect the wood and would like to really make the grain standout/pop much like the flame patterns in birch you sometimes see, or the occasional laminate Mosin etc. BUT Im unsure what to put on it and I dont want to screw it up. Hell Id just be happy if it looks good.
I thought about giving it some color first but unsure if I should or just leave it alone. What should I use? I think Shellac is out. I dont like that so what does that leave me with?
Varnish?
Boiled Linseed oil?
Tung oil
Birchwood Casey tru-oil
Is there any prep to the wood I should do beforehand?
Thanks for any and all help
Jeff
