I like Timberlux. I don't use it to fill the pores using the mud process though. This takes a lot of finish and Timberlux is too expensive for this. I use Tung oil which works well and then finish up with Timberlux when the pores are filled. I know of no advantage of using Timberlux for pore filling vs. the much cheaper Tung oil.

I love it, it gave me a nice flat finish, pores are still there but that’s what I was looking for. Best part I have had no experience doing any wood finishing.

This is a spare VH "O" frame stock that I stripped and finished with Timberluxe..next to an original 1921 VH 16 stock.One thing about Timberluxe...the finish is started with about 3 coats of the formula..THEN..the walnut stain is added ..a little..or more..depends on what you want..Then 3-4 final coats..
