Wood stock and forend looking a little dry, am I in trouble?

Post by Quigley_Up_Over »

Took my 1874 "Quigley" out of the case this afternoon and noticed that the wood looks a little dry. Tonight I will hit it *generously* with Gun Glow.

Will the wood perk back up, or am I in trouble? It didn' split or anything, but almost looks like it wants to...

A few ( several ) applications of Gun Glow will really help.

When my wood gets a little dry, I order wine for the Mrs. Doesn't always work, YMMV :)

Tung oil is what you need to apply...
