We my father in law and I sawed up and planed some walnut slabs last weekend to test several finishes on.

After reading his copy of Flexner's book last weekend as well, I am going to be trying several finishes that fall in the wiping varnish category.

Permalyn, Benmatte, Fornby's Tung Oil(which apparently contains no tung oil), Waterlox, something else my father in law has, and I will also do some tru oiling, just so I can get them all good and compared.

I have some parker stain from csmc, but don't think i will need it for the 870. Got the wood stripped and am currently sanding it with 600 paper. Took forever to get that finish off, finally had to get a metal scraper after it.
