Hey folks,
I'm about to take possession of a GORGEOUS Winchester 94 made in 1953. The wood has been very well maintained, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Been doing some research, and can't decide what's best...oil or wax? From what I've read about walnut oil, it seems like that's what a lot of people use, but I don't like what I'm reading about how it dries to a hard shine. I don't want a glossy finish, but would prefer a satiny smoothness. Which is what some wax finishes seem to give.
Anyone here recommend one over the other for keeping a nice, warm rich finish on a 54 year old gun stock?
Thanks.
