Stain Recomendaitons?

[Ridge Runner 0]

Received a new stock set with my restored Johnson rifle.

How should I stain the stock? What stain most closely resembles the original stain?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, Joseph Scott kindly gave me this. I am sure he would agree for me to pass it on. He is one very nice guy.

I like to use MInWax "WoodSheen" Rubbing Stain and

Finish,

Rosewood #751. Comes in a squeese bottle like thick toothpaste. Use

paper

towels and rub in one coat, dry, add more for darker color. Dry and

top with

boiled linseed oil or tung oil. Gives a nice deep reddish brown like

original 1903's. About $5 at Lowes or Home depot. Try on a hidden

spot

first.

I emailed Joe, but have not heard from him yet. I guess he has a life, unlike me
