    The LIES and confusion of Tung Oil wood finish

    Dave, you caught my error. After I hit the post button I realized that gloss was not an example. My bad. Ok. I want this to come out really well without guessing what went wrong if it does with my own brew. So, no more wavering. I’m going to order the Sutherland Welles medium, allowing shine...

    I’ve been coming to this forum almost daily for the last month. Thought it was time to stand up, support and join. I have a lot to learn. Shot my first BP pistol last week. Am now neck deep into a 54cal musket refinishing project with a Turkish/ English Walnut stock. Decisions Decisions...
