- I show you how to finish or refinish a rifle stock with Birchwood-Casey Tru-oil Gun Stock Finish. Tru-oil is also a popular guitar finish. Using a few different finishing techniques you can have a satin to a high-gloss finish. It's easy to do and you don't need a lot of experience to do it right.

This is the best explanation on the Tru Oil process on YT. It was well thought out and super easy to follow. You are a great instructor.
I never leave comments on YT and almost never even sign into my account. I signed in today just to let you know what a great job you did. I'm surprised this video only has 574 views. I'll be referencing it again in the future.
Thanks for making this video. I also checked out your blog.

Great video,I followed your instruction and refinished the stock on my Thompson Hawkins...it is now a thing of beauty. Thanks.
You did a great job on your stock. I have a stock that I want to refinish and now thanks to you I should be all set. Thank you very much for the tutorial and for sharing with fellow firearm owners.
All I can say is WOW! You did a beautiful job Robert!, This is the first video of yours I have watched and it blew me away. I learned things that always seemed like a mystery to me. Your clear explanations brought the point home very well. I am subbed for sure.
Thanks Robert.
Thanks for the great information. Like anything worth anything, the time you spent and the fact that you didn't cut corners totally paid off with a beautiful finished product.
I used to absolutely love getting up and going to work everyday. I used to layout the and dig the foundation for homes, frame the home, and come back and complete all the woodwork. The only thing I didn't due was build the cabinets. But, I would install them. I life well lived is one where you enjoy or love the work versus a job that you dread to go to. I can tell you enjoy/love woodwork as much I did/do. I still do small projects and an occasion deck (with good help) in the summer time. You just got yourself another subscriber. Keep up the good work young man.
Beautiful stock and thank you for the very informative process! I like that you explained "why" you were doing it instead of just "do this."
Very fine job I'm glad to see another generation doing stuff like this
Awesome left/right stock. Been looking for one. Can't believe more manufacturers aren't making them.
This is the real deal. I finished a stock and it's like a thin coat of rock hard glass. And, I imagine scratches would refinish easily too. Great video, thanks!
Really beautiful work! slightly different from the way I do them, but I watch these videos to learn, and I got some great takeaways from your video Thank you!
Thanks for this. My stock turned out just like I wanted.
First time making my own gunstock (birdseye maple) and I'm following your process to the T. I appreciate the video man.
That is beautiful finish on a beautiful stock!
Well done, Sir!
That is a very beautiful stock and your process was very well done!
Thanks for the Video it has been around 50 years sense I did a stock so needed a refresher, I use to do seven coats with my fingers, letting it sit over night between each coat. do love the True-Oil gun stock finish,
Artwork, jewelry!
You are well on your way to becoming a true master.
My hat is off to you.
Well done. That wood grain is a beauty.
Great video! I am currently using Tru-oil to refinish my Winchester 94 30-30 and thought I’d get some pointers. This was a great help! Thanks!
Really appreciate your video. I’m refinishing my first stock and i found your video the most helpful of all !
Great Video, frankly quite masterfully made and very well thought out .. I wasn't even looking for it and watched it to the end. Now I think I'll go refinish my walnut stock 30 cal Hatsan and see what happens. I'll be watching again. Thanks for this.
Thank you Robert Daily. That was very informative. Yesterday, I received a Traditions Kentucky Rifle kit in the mail. I have many guns, but this is my first build. After all the shaping, drilling and fitting, I plan to use your technique.
Fit, then drill, then shape. Lots of extra wood in a kit, get those line fair and sand the piss out of it. Then finish, and enjoy.....!
I Pulled a lot of cool stuff out of The Closet of Lost Gold last year. Did 2 Airgun Shooter Videos about it. Old guns, ammo, etc. Like a Australian Short Lee Enfield built in 1918, and a Crosman 160 Pellgun, variant 1, 1955-56. And my old 70's Ultra-Hi Kentucky percussion kit rifle I started building in my 20's as a newlywed. Had raw brass castings and the whole 9 yards. I'm in the middle of restoring it now. And I used Minwax #231, " Gunstock" oil stain. And Tru-Oil over that. Used 600 on the bare wood, and up to 1500 or so on imperfections in the Tru-Oil.
Great video! Followed it and to my surprise I managed to get my Ruger M77 stock looking awesome! Thanks!
Wow. That's a pretty grain in that wood.
I am glad someone took the time to finish it nicely.
Definitely was a noobie restoring a Mosin, then i found this video. Thanks for the awesome help!
Beautiful work, absolutely stunning!
Really nicely done - thanks so much. About to start refinishing a 40 year old Sabatti Over & Under 12 Ga. Planing to follow your plan.
SICK GRAIN! Finished stock looks great
Very nice! About to refinish my mountain rifle stock, this video will come in handy, thanks
I did the same thing to my M44 and my 9130 Mosin Nagant, both turned out beautiful.
Used it as a banjo finish - Guide was very helpful
I am working on a rifle stock from 1962 in an attempt at restoration. Thus far I have sanded it down to bare wood. For my sanding I used the 3M Burgandy P360 scuff pad and then the black P800 scuff pad. The wood is now smooth as glass. The more time one spends buffing prior to color will only make the finished project all the nicer. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video.. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I'm about to refinish an Ithaca Model 66
I used this technique and it worked great.
Great video and a beautiful job you did on that stock!!!! I am restoring a rifle for my cousin and am very particular with my work. My original plan was to stain the stock with Early American stain then apply several coats of polyurethane. The stock had several deep scratches. I was able to repair most with a steam iron and a t shirt in between the iron and stock. That helps swell the wood to repair the indentations. But, after watching your video, I decided to go with one coat of Early American stain (wiped off a few minutes after applying), then used your Tru Oil method. It completely filled in the remaining indentations! I am about 75% done with the stock and can already tell that it will turn out beautifully with the Tru Oil technique you displayed! Thank you for a great tutorial!!!!
Awesome video man. I’ve got an oil finish beretta o/u that’s gotten a bit dull over time and plenty of shooting. I didn’t strip it all the way back like you have, but started at the wet sand then moved to 000 then 0000 and followed your process and it’s come up beautiful. You legend.
just sub'd. excellent work. it looks so easy and convinced me to try my own. thanks
This is the best stock finishing/staining video on TH-cam, all the other ones suck
Thank you for this excellent video. I acquired a Steven's model 66 rifle, a 22 bolt action which I am refinishing using your instructions. Not finished yet, but it's looking real good already.
SUPER JOB!! 10 PLUS in my book!!
Late to the party but I need to say this is a great reference video, I keep referring back to it. Awesome job!
Stunning work. Now, I’d be afraid to use it. It looks so good. Great wood to start.
This finish is really easy to touch up. And a few scratches add character. :-)
You sir are the Leonardo of gun stocks! Beautiful weapon
Good work. That is a great looking stock to choose to work on
You are an ARTIST!
Wow Factor knock it out the park that's a beautiful job very nice
Love the color of the tip and cap They have good contrast
That's a gorgeous stock
Nice job and a beautiful stock too
That is a beautiful walnut stock
Very nice looking rifle. Love the wood grain. Thanks for eth video. I have used Tru Oil, but didn't thin the first coat down. I have been meaning to refinish it. I'm going to try your method.
Love the High Comb Rollover.
You have a very good assistant.
Awesome job!
beautiful work. thanks!
Absolutely beautiful Robert!
Excellent presentation !
Mann that was awesome
I would like to do the same with my old stock it's really worn out chip gloss paint that's really beautiful stock you got their
Beautiful piece of wood.
Nice job. Concise information not a lot of fluff. Thanks, I'm in the middle of a Wnichester mod 70 stock refinish and this is the ticket. Again thanks.
Great info, just got a Kentucky pistol kit. Will be doing it in the next few days.
Thanks much young man. I miss Texas.
Thanks for the very informative video .....awesome.....stay blessed PEACE from the uk
Thanks Robert for your great video! I will be using your method on my Hatchers AAA fancy walnut for my CZ 452 in Anshutz 54 style stock.
+Robert Dailey (Dailey Woodworks) Will do mate.
Nice job, great looking rifle.
Awesome job two thumbs way up!!!
Back in the seventies I built a 50 caliber Hawken rifle and wanted a hand rubbed finish.
To finish the walnut, I made a 50/50 mix of varnish and linseed oil and applied in a similar way as you did only I never sanded between coats, I only used steel wool to buff the wet oil mix in. I applied a coat before leaving for work then buffed it off that night.
I dont remember exactly how many coats but it was quite a few.
I buffed the final coat with OOOO- steel wool after allowing the finish to cure fully then waxed it. The finish is in the wood, not on it and only needs to be waxed now and then to bring it to a full shine.
You’re extremely talented. Just subbed. I want to learn all of this stuff including checkering
True Oil is great stuff! I use it on my custom guitars.
Awesome! I might use your technique on a Telecaster guitar I'm about to build
Beautiful job.
very nice job. I personally would have went one maybe two more coats. This is my go to finish for my turkey calls. It seems like the dull areas get duller faster then the glossy areas get semi gloss. I like to get my stuff to almost a nice gloss because i know theres enough on there. Over time it dulls down anyways. At least with calls. Gun a little different. Great work though. The beauty of this stuff is if you put to much on (high gloss) you can easily knock it down. And easy to bring it up. Love love love this oil. Been using it for years.
Fantastic video sir, thank you
Great video. Thanks dude.
Awesome video, great work!
great result
Awesome video mate thanks
3000 to 5000 grit wet sandpaper will give you even more glossiness,but hey you done wonderful work here, thanks for share
Very good video and presentation!
Nice video - very informative - easy to understand 5 stars
*****
Just about to use Tru oil and thought I’ll do a better job this time as my last attempts were rushed a bit. Great video.
Nice job, thanks!
nice finish!
Lovely black Labrador 👍
Great video
beautiful job rob! I've used the birchwood casey refinish kit on a air rifle stock 30 yrs a go and it did a beautiful job. great product! i used 2 refinish old furniture and had a problem with oak, if i knew what iknow now about filling in the pores the way u jest did, the furniture wood look a lot better.very had to fill in oak grain. thxs!
Robert Dailey ---thx you! and happy thanksgiving!
Good job man.
Thanks for a great video and the instructions, especially the tip on sanding the finish wet on the first two diluted coats. Great idea something that I will keep in my back of tricks for wood finishing.
nice work!
great job!
Nice job
Like that technique.
Excellent tutorial! and what a gorgeous result. Thank you for sharing the know-how
Incredible
Excellent process.
+Robert Dailey I'm in the process of refinishing the stock on an old Model 12 my father-in-law gave my son. It's really turning out great. I'm glad i saw your video because I was not wet sanding and that's making the finish look ever better. One thing I've found is if I wipe on true oil with a rag vs finger, I eliminate the tedious work of sanding out sags that I missed... but that's just me.
nice job thanks
lol You are very brutal with that mechanical sander ...lol
VERY NICE STOCK AFTER ALL !!!!
Looks great! Now put some checkering on it!
Most important thing is to have a dog in the shop. Good doggy! Good boy!
Great looking finish, I noticed the cheek plate on the same side as the bolt is, I’ve only seen 2 other stocks like that before!
