Gents, Recently got a Tanker M1A with nice wood. Put two coats of Teak Oil on it and I thought you would like to see the before and after pictures of it. My put a third coat on, but for now this is it. Wes Rifle "as received":  Rifle after two coats of teak oil:  | ||

Looks great! "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

Looks great! I did a similar project on my M1a Loaded, although I also sanded mine to smooth it out which really brought out the grain. | |||

Outstanding. I'm curious: Is there a particular reason you went with Teak Oil instead of the more traditional Tung Oil or Linseed Oil? Or was it more just a matter of using what you had on hand? | |||

RogueJSK, Decided on Teak oil as it tendds to soak in well and I wanted a more satin finish on the rifle. So far so good. We'll see what the third coat looks like in a week or two... Wes | |||

Looks great! Some nice grain on that stock. Are you gonna seal it with some Renaissance Wax when you're done? ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||
