sounds good.do they dunk it in this stuff .i heard that its not good to soak the stock.for tru-oil which i dont like to work good you should have open pores in wood ,then sand with steel wool lightly between coats. i am still debating on if i will do it. i do like wood feel more than that shiny coating but coating does protect the hawkins well and dont look bad. how did it look vrs the original finish when you were done. thanks
