Linseed rubbing oil
The last step of refinishing a gunstock using the Pilkington method of sanding in a mixture of Tung Oil and Spar Varnish is to use a coat of Linseed Rubbing Oil, which he used to sell, with rottenstone. It is no longer available from his old website or from Midway.
Is there any difference between Pilkington's Linseed Rubbing Oil and regular old boiled linseed oil (or is raw linseed oil what was used for gunstock finishing)?
