Preparing the Stock

The Tools Needed for Aging your Muzzleloader
1”-2” paint brush
Wood Stock Oil, I’m using Danish Oil but you can use Tru oil or something else
Bone Black, I’m using Kibler’s Bone Black
To apply the pigment, I’m following Jim Kibler’s technique which employs the use of the “Dry Brushing” technique by mixing a small amount of oil with a larger amount of the pigment.
