Bone Black
To darken a stock:
Tap out a little bit of bone black and pour a little bit of finishing oil into separate piles on a non-absorbent surface. First, dampen the brush a little bit in the finishing oil and then pick up a little bit of the bone black with the tip of the brush. Then, to distribute the bone black throughout the oil, rub the bristles of the brush around a bit on a non-absorbent surface.
If the tip of the brush is too wet, pick up more bone black and distribute throughout the bristles again. The brush can also be dried by working the tip on a paper towel. Once you have achieved a thin, dry, dark finish, apply it by rubbing it around and working it into the low spots onto the stock. Repeat this process of loading the brush and applying to the stock until one very thin coat is on the stock.
Multiple applications since one is never enough. Layers will need to be built up to darken the stock.
The Bone Black worked perfectly to allow me to blend some darker areas into the stock while I was applying the second coat of finish.
Mix with a few drops of Tru-Oil, consistency should be nearly dry. Use a stabbing motion with the brush, I use a stiff brush, half and inch wide. Once the desired affect has been created, allow to fully cure, so twenty four hours. Then buff with 4 0000 steel wooll, lightly buff is key. Tru-Oil requires a mechanical bond to bind itself to. Then proceeded with three additional coats of Tru-Oil, buffing in between coats. Once the final coat has been applied, use automotive rubbing compound to achieve a dulled semi gloss finish. Remove any residue and apply wax and wipe off. This finish method is absolutely Stuning. Bone Black also does well to fill small gaps in inlays and wood anomalies. Hope that this helps someone.
I used a little on my SMR kit and it looks great !!
This product worked great!
I made my own for years. I’ll never do that again. This stuff is Great
