Walnut Stock Help Needed

Thanks! I'll have some more pics tomorrow. I'll take them outside in the sun.

Do you think the brass would look better with some 'brass black' on it? Also, I plan on blackening the aluminum screws with 'aluminum black' as well.

I know it's all a matter of personal preference, but I like the blackened brass. Think I should try it?

I don't know if you can tell or not, but I used 'plum brown' on the barrel to give it the rust look.
 
No need to wet sand w/ Tru-oil.

Get some steel wool and buff off the coat. I would think 8-10 coats would be in order, depending how heavy they are. NO RUNS. They are much harder to get out that to put in.

Apply the TO w/ fingers or palm-no brushs.

There was recently some discussion about putting TO onto a stock that had some Armor-all on it?? Acted like a catalyst. I have not done it but will try on my next stock refinish. That combo apparemtly gets HARD in a couple hours.
