I am trying to find a mixture/formula that will duplicate the finish on early, 18th/19th century stock finishes for both maple and American (black) walnut.
The finish should have a deep "glow" BUT not be mirror shiny. Don't want something that just sits on top of the wood.
Tung oil thinned (with what) for more penetration? Linseed oil?
What would be the best?
I have seen some original PA rifles and they are real masterpieces.
Thanks
