Thread: More advise wanted re finishing a stock

I use common paint and varnish stripper and a nylon nail brush. Toothbrush in checkering. You may need to do this twice and then clean with water then let dry.
Then use 400 grit wetndry with plenty of turps. Work down to 600 then 800 grit.
Let dry then do 800 grit with turps again.
The use linseed or other drying wood oil mixed with dtain andcturps applied with 800 grit over many days allowingvto dry thoroughly between coats. Final application with high grade 0000 steel wool.
Then frequent hand rubbing over years.
