Picked up a rifle with nice looking wood stock. But the way the grain is, it feels like it's trying to rip the side of my face off with a day's growth of stubble. Fresh shaved or a 3 day beard and it doesn't bother.
Any suggestions for good product to seal up the wood grain?

Re: Stock Sealer
50:50 mix of mineral spirits and truoil. Dip your finger in the mix and work it into the grain like an oil rubbed finish.
The goal is to fill the grain, you will know when it's filled when wet sanding with 400 grit wet/dry sand paper using your 50:50 mix as lubricant and you no longer see 'facets ' reflecting light as you turn the stock under a light.( unfilled grain)This process is cutting back. Sand with the grain in a small area and wipe against the grain to help fill the grain. Once the grain is filled a final coat of your choice of finish will work. It is a labor intensive process.
