When looking for stock finishes, go to the experts. Brownells sells a variety of finishes for stocks. Permalyn or Pro-Oil are my favorites, but TruOil or LinSpeed work very well. You can also buy books on stock finishing.

BTW, that is a beautiful piece of wood! In order to get the best results, you will need to remove about 1/8" of wood from all over the exterior of that stock. Read up on stockmaking to get the best results, or get some advice from a stockmaker in your area.
