I already know there are some haters for the Indian made muskets I've had no fault yet. However I want to refinish the wood on my Brown Bess 1st Model to get it close to an original, I know they are made with teak wood but was curious if anyone had a good stain and finish they would put on the wood to refinish, I atleast want to take of the lacquer and refinish it. I was thinking about sanding it down lightly and restaining with walnut stain or a maple stain and finishing eith truoil that i will dull down with fine steel wool and mineral oil. I may add some patina to it in the process of finishing. Im more concerned about which stain to use? Those were just my initial thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Fieblings brown leather dye and tung oil makes for a good finish.
