Hi Gabe, sorry to take so long to get back, yes the information about Kurt Crum was from Tom Turpin's book. Interestingly Duane Wiebe also uses Seafin Teak Oil combined with Alkenet and Linseed oil. He also has some interesting tips.

The first guns stock that I re-finished I tried a method as used by Sterling Davenport which briefly consisted of wet sanding using Tung Oil and sanding enough to produce a mud consisting of Tung Oil and saw dust to fill the pores. Successively finer paper is used until the all the pores are filled and then the wet sanding continues without producing any mud. There is obviously more to it than that but that was the basics. It worked really well and I still use the gun regularly, only wiping after use with a silicon cloth. The stock finish still looks excellent to this day.
I have thought about collecting the saw dust created while dry sanding and adding that to the oil while rubbing to seal the pores, it is something that I am to try.
