I will preface this by saying I build rifles, primarily rifles with high-grade wood stocks. I use TruOil almost exclusively unless the customer want something else. I pretty much will not do BLO or tung oil, they are explosively flammable in storage and I don't want my shop burnt down. I have used other finishes besides TruOil, but prefer it above all others for quick, consistent results. For a quick and easy finish, there is wipe-on polyurethane. Lin-Speed is similar to TruOil but builds a glossy finish faster. And of course, there are many furniture finishes, but I will not put them on a customer's gun stock because most are not water or solvent resistant.
