I've considered the shellac and oil method. Thats how Parker did stocks and so it seems the logical choice of method. But shellac and oil is a harder finish and can chip with a lot of use and sometimes not so much use. I've had to repair original Parker stocks that had chipped. I just finished fixing the stock on a PH 80% original gun. So I long ago chose to go with Tru Oil or Linspeed and now Timberlux. I can mimic original Parker finish very closely with any of those products.
