Bolt action with Tru-Oil finish

[ALA]

A few days ago I asked for info about doing a finish other than CA glue. I decided to go with Tru-Oil since I already had some and I had refinished a rifle stock with it in the past. It turned out pretty good and I think my friend will be pleased. Here are the results...All comments are welcome.

It is a good oil finish -- and will work well on the pen (as well as gun stocks).

Good looking pen

Really nice looking for that kit. Nice job.

I assume Walnut?

And if the finish starts to look too dry, I'm betting the 'friend' might have some more oil for taking care of his collection:wink:

Thanks for the kind words and yes, it is Walnut. This guy loves guns and fortunately for me he likes pens too! :biggrin:

I use Tru Oil on all my turkey calls...tough stuff, holds up to bug juice etc.

I have used it on deer antler when CA was giving me fits.

I am still holding out on the bolt actions, after making a large number "real" cartridge pens, I just can't make myself do a knock off.

I've made a few "real" (bullet pens) and several from kits. I was the same way about the bolt action but they are a real attention getter and very easy to make. :biggrin:
