Was finally able to get this stock done...

I cleaned and sanded down the stock to give the new finish something to bite to, then applied 5 coats of Tru-Oil. Once dry I steel wooled it lightly then put on a coat of wax. It was nicer than before but I wanted more shine. So....

After I let it sit for a few days I went over the stock the stock like you would do with auto clear. I started with some 3M rubbing compound. this really smoothed out the finish and brought a nice shine to it. Then i followed with 3M Imperial hand glaze, which really gave it a deep shine. Looks almost 3D in person. Finally, I protected it with a coat of Meguires wax.

i think it turned out pretty good. Not 100% by any means, but close enough for me.
