I had a look at some wood working reference books for luthiers (people who make guitars, violins, etc.) and the finishes they use on those instruments is just amazing.
I suppose if they handle is through years of sweat and being banged about, then they must be worth consideration for gun stocks.
Has any one used any musical instrument finishes on their guns before, and if so, what was you evaluation of it?
ps- for anyone who wants the resources, go to google, type in 'archives.org'. From here you'll be guided to an archive website full of public domain books from 1790 up to about 1965.
Type in violin, luthier, or rifle and have a look. I'm in the middle of a wonderful book about the 1898 krag. A modern gun, but hey- free old guns books!
You can't beat that!
