I refinished a couple of Parker stocks a few years back using Tru Oil cut with a little turpentine and "mineral spirits". Used the 0000 steel wool route and Formby's stripper for removal of the original finish (modified Wonko version). Then 14 coats hand-rubbed and knocked down between applications using rottenstone paste made out of uncut Tru Oil right out of the bottle. The 0000 leaves no trace of fibers or threads and the rottenstone makes a "grinding slurry" that leaves and ultra-marble smooth finish, filling pores and layering out the finish. A long and laborious process but the results are spectacular. KBM
