My favorite is Arrow Wood Finish, sold by Shooter Solutions. I bought a 4 oz. bottle at a gun show and have now used it on one walnut rifle stock, 3 sets of walnut handgun stocks, and 2 sets of cocobolo handgun stocks. You rub it in with fine (400-800) sandpaper to fill the pores and then hand rub a few coats. You can get anything from a glossy poly look to a nice satin "oil" finish look depending on what grit you use for the final coats. It seems to be pretty durable and I was able to put a new coat on once a day. It's also really easy to touch up if you scuff or scratch the finish. I also like that it doesn't have the "chemically" smell of Tru-Oil. Oh, after all that, I've still got more than half of my little 4 oz. bottle left, so it goes a long way. Hope this helps.

These are cocobolo N frame stocks of my own design, finished to 800 grit with the Arrow.
