small container of wood finish

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

I just sanded down a set of stocks for a S&W K-frame square butt revolver.
I needed a slim pair of grips for women and kids to use.
Now I need to seal the wood, and give it a finish with some shine.
But I don't need to change the color or darken the wood. This wood is very dark-- like a Hershey's milk chocolate bar.
I'd like to have some sheen to it-- gloss or semi-gloss.

And I don't want to buy a pint of the stuff for $20 if I can buy a little bottle or tube for $7 instead.

What do y'all recommend?

For that price, you can get a spray bomb of clear polyurethane. Comes on gloss, semigloss and flat.

Tru-Oil is available cheap, but is not as clear as polyurethane.

A good floor/furniture/car wax will do what you want. It won't be as permanent as poly, but it's right there under the kitchen sink. Wax will provide a very high degree of water resistance.

The reason I mention all types is they all have essentially the same components. The harder the wax, the more the gloss.

Did you find something? I have some that I can give you if you are still in need. I've done several stocks with it.

Get a two dollar bathroom/toilet ring. Melt it down and put three drops of lemon juice in it while it's still hot brush it on to the wood and rub it off...

Hoage and Pachmeyer make excellent grips for the S&W line.
