Wood stock finish
I have used Tru-oil for years and if you don't like the high gloss, just take some very fine steel wool and lightly wipe it down. This will remove some of the high gloss. If you remove too much, you can easily go over it again with Tru-oil and do the fine steel wool again. I have even seen some stocks done with Helmsman marine spar varnish. Sometimes you have to decide what is the most important reason you are putting on a finish for. Good luck if you want a finish that will be the best for all reasons!
