Two-Step Application Process
Step 1: Apply Gunstock Oil
- Ensure wood is clean, dry, and properly sanded (150-220 grit)
- Apply Gunstock Oil liberally with a cotton cloth
- Rub into wood grain until saturated
- Allow 15-20 minutes for penetration
- Wipe off all excess oil with clean cloths
- Wait 24 hours and apply 2-3 additional coats for depth and richness
- Allow final coat to cure for 3-5 days before waxing
Step 2: Apply Gunstock Wax
- Once oil has fully cured, apply a small amount of Gunstock Wax with soft cloth
- Work wax into wood using circular motions
- Allow to dry 5-10 minutes until hazy
- Buff vigorously with clean cloth to bring up beautiful shine
- Apply additional wax coats for enhanced protection and luster
Why This System Works
The two-step oil and wax system provides comprehensive protection and beauty. The Gunstock Oil penetrates deep into wood fibers, nourishing and protecting from within while enhancing the natural grain. The Gunstock Wax then seals the surface, adds water resistance, and creates the lustrous sheen that makes fine gun stocks stand out. Together, they create a finish that's both beautiful and durable.
Coverage
This kit provides enough finish for 1-2 complete rifle or shotgun stocks, depending on wood porosity and number of coats applied. The 4 oz. oil and 2 oz. wax are perfectly proportioned for the complete finishing process.
Pro Tips
- Sand wood to 220 grit for smoothest results
- Apply thin coats of oil - multiple thin coats are better than one heavy coat
- Always wipe off excess oil to prevent sticky surfaces
- Allow proper curing time between oil and wax application
- Buff wax thoroughly for best shine
- Reapply wax periodically to maintain protection and luster

Handcrafted Quality
All Heritage Natural Finishes products are made by hand in small batches to ensure the outstanding quality our customers have come to love and expect. This artisan approach guarantees consistency, purity, and the exceptional performance that makes Heritage Natural Finishes the choice of discerning gunsmiths and firearms enthusiasts.
Composition
We disclose ALL ingredients that we use. Heritage Natural Finishes contain NO petroleum products, or metallic drying agents whatsoever! We use only the highest quality ingredients from the most sustainable sources possible. What you see here is what you get. If you have any questions, you can always call us!
Tung Oil
100% pure with no additives. This is the highest quality tung oil available; drying harder and forming a more durable finish than linseed oil alone. Both oils are dryer-free and slightly heat-treated (polymerized).
Special Aged Linseed Oil
Obtained from flax grown in the Red River Valley of the U.S. and Canada. It is purified and refined by natural oxidation and blowing, and dries as clear or clearer than tung oil, with none of the characteristic discoloration that is typical of hardware store varieties. No other finishing oil penetrates as deeply into wood.
Beeswax
Only filtered, chemical and bleach-free white beeswax wax is used. Beeswax adds visual depth of grain, smoothness, and elastic durability. Beeswax forms a skim coat that keeps the finish on the wood, slowing the evaporation of the solvent, which gives the oils more time for absorption.
Pure Citrus Solvent
This is the purest form of citrus turpenes (solvent), extracted from cold-pressed orange peel oil. This is the only solvent used in our finishes, and is also sold separately for thinning product or cleaning up. Pure Citrus Solvent is a safer alternative to mineral spirits, and other harsh solvents and can be used the same way.
Pine Rosin
Gum rosin extracted from pine sap and separated from the turpentine. This is the gum rosin found in heart pine, giving the wood its hardness and durability. We use only top grade, crystal-free, water-white rosin. No synthetic resins are used.
