Default RE: FINISH ON T/C HAWKINS .50CAL FLINTLOCK

ORIGINAL: sproulman

hello all, question.i read here that someone suggested to remove the clear finish on stock and put on a oil finish.is this good idea to do and if so, what are the steps to take to do it.thanks
Refinishing a stockis not something thatshould be done or not done because somebody else suggests it...finish has two basic purposes:
Protecting the wood, and providing eye appeal.

The simple questions are:
Generally speaking, does the current finish protect the wood stock?
Doesthe rifle generally have a good eye appeal for you, the owner?

If the answer to both is yes, then the question is: why would you want to go to all the trouble of refinishing it...
