I swear some of the wood on my Rossi's look like they came from another planet:)
That was the older models.
I stripped the wood on my Henry H001, it was worse than any gun I have.

The factory stock on my 92 was really dull so I put about 8 coats of Tru Oil on it. I didn't sand it before or after. Just applied the Tru Oil. Turned out semi-gloss, but nice.

I second the compliment from Arroyoshark. Beautiful stock finish.
Put one foot in front of the other and don't stop till you get to where you're goin.

So no prep or nothing - just multiple coats of Tru-Oil? How did you apply it (brush... rag)?
I want to put a protective coat on my Rossi's wood, but I don't want to make it into a huge project. And I wouldn't mind the wood a little bit darker.

I think the last time I used it I rubbed it in by hand wearing a nitrile glove in very thin coats for several coats letting each coat cure and lightly sanding between coats.

There’s a term for reviving zombie threads, but I forget what it is. Forgive me.
Just used Fiebings leather dye to dye a beech forend, and learned a couple things:
- Out of the bottle, dyes are very dark.
- Fiebings thinner is very expensive.
- Denatured alcohol makes a fine thinner.
- If the dyed wood is too dark, denatured alcohol will also pull it out.
- Wait until it’s bone dry before you judge the color.
- Always test on an interior bit first (D’oh!!!).
