I have a shotgun stock that I'd like to refinish. I'm planning on using an Aniline dye for color.
After dying, I'm hoping to find a "finish" that will protect the wood (and maybe be waterproof, to some degree), hopefully have some level of durability, yet be easy to repair when it gets scratched, etc. I'm hoping the finish product can be used to produce a shine that would range from satin to gloss, depending on how many coats I want to apply. I will apply Renaissance Wax when I'm all done.
Out off all of my desired characteristics, what is most important to me is to not hide the beauty of the wood.
I'm sure there are trade-offs since I doubt any one product has all of these characteristics, but can you offer any suggestions as a starting point?
Thank you!
