starting with a bare stock. use half Truoil and half turpentine with 2in squares of 120 grit emery paper. sand in the mix in small circular patterns with enough mix to keep it wet. cover all of the stock and let dry 24 hours. repeat 3 or 4 times. use 300 grit with same mix for 3 or 4 more coats. for a slick high gloss use 600 grit for 3 or 4 more coats. otherwise, use full strenght truoil with your fingers to rub in as many more coats as you want to get the look you want. use 4x fine steel wool to knock off any rough spots. the last coats should be very thin so as not to have any runs at all. check the truoil web pages for more help. good luck.
