What kind of oil finish for this Scruggs SP??

[Jigger]

This is my new "old" TS sneaky. The seller says it has a hand rubbed oil finish. I really like the old patina. Haven't received it yet but was curious as to what oil should be used if it needs a touch up? Any thoughts. Thanks---

Tung oil works well if you have the time to wait for it to dry. The can always says like overnight or something, but it actually takes a few days. Otherwise, just touching up would be natural danish oil & give it a couple hours to dry, then buff with a dry rag. This finish looks a lot like danish oil.

Oil Finish

In addition to the suggestions by QBILDER you might try Birchwood-Casey
gun stock oil. Drys hard and fast and is available at most sporting goods stores.

Thanks for your suggestions men. Will do the Danish or Tung oil, sounds like the Danish might match up best. Dave

Well I see you got the cue.

You'll love it.

I like the finish on yours and will probably be doing something similar to mine.

Gun stock oil is a great reccomendation, too. As with the mentioned brand, Tru-Oil gun stock oil is also pretty good stuff.

Thanks Tom. I like the knockers in your avatar too!

Should be a killer bar stick. Can't wait to test drive it - will give you a report.

Thank you Mr. Crisp......... Luv your cues! Can I get on your waiting list?

FYI - As a follow up.......The cue arrived and it was scuzzy dirty. Went ahead and scrubbed the hell out of it with "Magic Eraser". I allowed it to thoroughly dry and have put on 4 coats of tung oil. It looks great with the low gloss finish!

Thanks all -------
