Timberlux

[Tom Flanigan]

I finished my first three stocks with Timberlux. When I bought it I was worried whether or not it would rub out with a cloth rag. I rub each coat with a rag which results in a microspocic build up of the finish. That is my preferred way to finish a stock. It takes a lot longer to build up a finish that way, but I believe it is worth it. Some finishes with a large amount of Japan drier won't rub out with a rag. True Oil and Linspeed will and that is why I have always used them.

But I now believe that Timberlux is a bit superior to Tru Oil and Linspeed (which produces a bright finish that must be knocked back) . The difference is not dramatic but it is noticable. From this point forward, I will do all my stock finishing with Timberlux.

I like Timberlux too. I hand rub it on the stock. Turns out a very nice finish.

Got any photos of your work?

I'll post photo's when I finish the checkering on the three Parkers. I don't consider the stocks done till the checkering is completed. All the guns were very worn with most of the checkering worn off. I start doing the barrels tomorrow, 2 twist and one fluid steel. I like restoring Parkers with no original finish but not molested. I can deal with buggered screws. They are relatively easy to replace and time, but I pass on all guns with modifications that I can't fix.

Brian Board, the owner and inventor of Timberluxe, is a very helpful fellow to speak with. He and I have had several conversations about general application of the product, and also some ways to tweak it for different results. Very worthy product line to support.
