I'm new to the restoration game. I've a sportered 1917 Lithgowicon that I've stripped using Circa 1850. The shortened forend also has multiple cracks in the draws area (exploding coachwood) so I'm using this piece to experiment on, as I plan eventually to restore this with full wood.
My wife bought me a can of Lee Valley 100% pure tung oil- what is the drying time for each coat? Also, should I keep the oil out of the barrel channel, and indeed out of all the interior surfaces? Or is it good practice to apply it everywhere?
I'm planning to use 000 steel wool between coats. Any advice, etc, etc, with my thanks in advance.
