For those with walnut gunstocks

[Silent Walker]

I haven't personally tried this... but I'm sure it just might do the trick.

 

[Rifleman1776]

Worth a try.

 

[TFoley]

I'm hazarding a guess that it's the walnut oil in the wal-nut that does the job.

 

[Carbon 6]

I'm very skeptical.

 

[Grenadier1758]

I'd try a little bit of steam and then rub walnut oil into the wood.

I know THAT works.

I’m a fan of steaming dents out of stocks or other furniture, on stocks I use wax afterward to seal the wood.

Walnut oil has some of the highest amounts of polyunsaturated fats of any oils (similar to flaxseed (= linseed) and grape seed oils). Walnut oil should make an excellent varnish or wood treatment.

Wood turners have been using commercial Walnut Oil as a finish for years.

Walnut oil has been around for years,you are correct!. It is a good finnish. If coloring up a scratch use the walnut husk instead of the walnut meat. It is an excellent stain! You will need gloves as the stain will not wash off your hands!

I dunno , walnuts are good for the heart , and are really good on ice cream.......

 

[Grenadier1758]

And once you have rubbed them on your stock to apply oils to the wood, they are crumbled and ready to sprinkle on your ice cream. They will still have plenty of essential oils to be beneficial to your heart.

So in a roundabout way ice cream is good for your heart....I knew it

 

[oldwood]

All patently excellent reasoning.!!!!!!!.............Oh no here comes the retired nurse in my family with a clown mallet to remind me about my fat old body , , no icecream for me , just the walnuts.....

 

[TFoley]

Being married to a nurse can be a RPITA - a mistake I made on 9th September 1971, and have been paying for ever since. Uhuh, better go afore she sees me typing th

TFoley, after almost 50 years, good for you. My wife and I celebrated 50 this year and she puts up with my foibles most of the time. Of course I pay too.

 

[Whitworth]

I married the IRS. She really made me an honest man.

 

[toot]

great info.

 

[RonRC]

I've used walnuts on furniture scratches and it worked out well. Also used it on an old shotgun stock when it fell off a gun rack and suffered its first scratch.
We celebrated our 50th in late August. We beat TFoley to it by just a few weeks, in August 1971.
We've now been married for almost 20 happy years.

Grape seed oil has the highest flame temp of most any oil. I use it with bees wax and it is a most excellent patch lube. Almost any oil rubbed into a mar on wood will make it darker, if burnished till very hot, the spot in question will have some gloss to it.
