I have not used it, but all I can say is that the shade of winchester red is such that it really does not look right on anything but a winchester.

Thanks.
I'm one of those guys who loves warm walnut. The "green" steamed look is not to my liking. However, I'm going to experiment so that it just has that "kiss of red" that doesn't look wrong. My 1973 rifle will be my guide. I'm hoping the compatibility with Tru-oil will be fine. |
TruOil finishes can cloud if the gun is in the rain and the stock gets wet. Timberluxe doesn’t .

That's an interesting point Bruce. I don't have enough experience with Timberluxe to form an opinion. But I'll tuck that thought into the back of my mind and will observe. Thanks for mentioning that. I hadn't heard that before.

I looked at Timberlux a few years ago, after reading the MSDS, I realized that it was a mixture of linseed oil, sunflower oil, naphtha (thinner) and some metallic driers.
I don't know about sunflower oil for protecting wood, but linseed oil is not great. I've tried a lot of finishes in my shop, the one that I always go back to is Tru-Oil. depending on how I apply it, and rub it out, I can replicate just about any finish from a high gloss "piano finish" to a hand rubbed oil finish. And no it doesn't cloud. |

Timberluxe gives much more depth and color to a stock finish than tru-oil. Therein lies the major difference. |
