I'm currently on a "spray can shellac" bender, love the stuff, minimal "setting up to do this" time, goes on lickety quick, next coat ready in 10-15 min, or ready to polish with steel wool in an hour or two,
Haven't tried the spray stuff JL,but i'm a fan of shellac also,you can choose your level of finish,from good to beyond excellent,and mistakes are easily recovered,choose your desired degree of finish,just give it a polish now and then
I usually go with boiled linseed oil followed by multiple coats of spray shellac. Simple and gives great results, like the other folks have said.
My preferred method just now is linseed too.
I've been looking over what people use for rifle butts and I'm curious about tung oil.
Might try that soon. They usually have great looking guns.
Nice butts, great guns, shiney wood.. I better stop before the sexual puns take over this thread.
Thanks for the feedback.. I think I am going to give oil a try on my next build. I had this rub on poly in my garage so I figured I would give it a shot. two coats so far and it looks ok..

Anyone ever tried this stuff?
Should have the build wrapped up this week time permitting.
Almost wrapped up with the build. Wipe on poly was ok choice for a quick finish but will spend more time with a oil finish next time. I have a few small items to complete but Swamp Fox #001 is alive. Now I have to learn GDGB so I can provide some sample music.. sounds really cool though. Here are few shots of the almost finished project..
