More pics....

 

Looks like you done a good job. What did you refinish it with?

 

8-10 coats of Tru Oil, buffed with 0000 steel wool between coats. Buffed again after final coat, followed by Birchwood Casey's Stock Sheen and Conditioner. Finally I applied a coat of paste wax.

 

Thanks. I would like to do mine, one of these days. It doesn't look too bad right now. Thought it might look better.

 

I probably wouldn't have bothered refinishing this one, but there were a couple places where the original finish was down to the bare wood (in addition to the bad dent). It had obviously seen quite a bit of use over the last 34 years by the previous owner. I was afraid that moisture might get into the wood in those spots where the finish was worn. And I enjoy doing anything involving my Marlins, so it gave me something to do for a couple weeks.

 

C'mon, guys.....................please, more 1894 porn for those of us still wishin' we weren't without one.

My 1894ss doesn't like to get all gussied up and pose with scenic trees or fences. She just doesn't do photo op very well. I did manage to catch her at work one day,and she let me take this pic.
