Oil?

Jafar, get you a test block of sanded wood and put a couple coats of tractor hydraulic fluid on it and see what you think. The wood takes the hyd fluid really good and it has a slight red tint.

Yeah, try it for real. I never seen it on a stock but for kiln dried YP it makes for nice looking siding. It's so fluid the wood soaks it up.

Gonna wax the wood and take some outdoor pictures tomorrow, but this one is going home.

That there is taking chicken shit and making chicken cordon bleu out of it. That looks really nice.

How do you like the ergonomics of the buttstock? Does it handle carried one handed?..
