I used a 50/50 mixture of pure Tung Oil and Mineral Spirits on a Garand stock and it works great. You can even cut the Tung Oil more by going 2/1 Mineral Spirits to Tung Oil. Goes on easier & dries quicker. The more coats you put on, the more gloss you get. Coats must be THIN and must dry COMPLETELY before the next is added and you remove any dust or raised grain with 0000 steel or bronze wool between coats. You get a real rubbed oil finish-emphasis on real.
