I stripped the finish off of a current production Rossi R92. The wood is very light color as you can see in the picture.
After 2 coats of boiled linseed oil, it looks nothing like how a walnut stock would look - still very light color. See picture of the butt stock next to the unfinished fore end - not much darker.
I’m not picky and not too invested in this project, just want to try something new.
What are your suggestions for finish options over BLO for this wood? Would be nice to “replicate” the classic look of an older, darker colored walnut stock.
