TIMBERLUXE™ FINISH & STAINS
ORIGINAL RECIPE FINISH
Bring back the natural luster of wood finishes.
AVAILABLE SIZES
14.79 ml / 0.5 oz - $25
59.15 ml / 2 oz - $55
TimberLuxe™ is a waterproof finish that can be used to replicate, restore, or repair virtually all stock finishes for collectable sporting arms from the Civil War to World War II. Applied to antique furniture, TimberLuxe™ will bring back the luster it once had while preserving the vintage look.
This finish brings the wood’s internal beauty to the surface by directing light into the wood thereby adding three-dimensional depth.
RECIPE #2
Same recipe but with faster drying times!
AVAILABLE SIZES
14.79 ml / 0.5 oz - $25
Same recipe but formulated for quicker drying times in high humidity environments.
Recipe # 2 is a great match for pre 1960 Browning firearms and the European firearms.
WALNUT STAIN
Beautifies and highlights!
AVAILABLE SIZES
47.3 ml / 1.6 oz - $50
TimberLuxe™ Walnut Stain beautifies wood and highlights natural wood grain features. It works seamlessly alongside TimberLuxe™ Finish to adjust the colour of your woodworking project from antique furniture to vintage gunstocks.
It can be used directly on bare wood but the colour cannot be adjusted as easily as when it is applied over TimberLuxe™ Finish.
47.3ml / 1.6 oz jar will handle approximately 6 long guns.
Denatured alcohol is the stain base so it penetrates the finish:

Good Morning Joan, I picked up my package from the post office yesterday. Thank you for the fast shipping and amazing customer service. You are truly first class. I put on my first coat of TimberLuxe Stain followed by the TimberLuxe Formula #2 Finish. I checked it this morning and was amazed. This is the best stock product I have ever worked with and I look forward to the results after the 6th coat. I will be getting the word out about the product and your business. Thank you so much.

I love the easy to use TimberLuxe™ Finish and Walnut Stain! Tried it first on a k31, with what I think is walnut, and the result was awesome. I removed most of the scratches and it now shows all the hidden grain lines.

I’m very happy with the Rust Blue and TimberLuxe™ Wood Stain. Prepped the stock then did the sand-in using the finish with 280 grit water paper (doesn’t fall apart when wet). This filled the wood pores. Wiped off the flurry and let the stock dry. It had a smooth finish and days following I lightly applied more finish. When it started to tack up I let it sit overnight and then took #0000 steel wool and lightly rubbed the surface, repeating the TimberLuxe™ application periodically over a couple of weeks. The beauty of the TimberLuxe™ is you can take a light dab on the end of your finger and blend it in to replicate the finish on top of a repair. It’s not a lot of work. After the finish has been cured on the stock you can control the look of the finish by rubbing with the palm of your hand. With little effort you can bring up a nice satin polish. What’s really nice is the TimberLuxe™ doesn’t plug checkering (anything else would have required re-cutting). Plus I have the real colour of the wood, it’s not buried in stain. TimberLuxe™ is a real time-saver that gives a ‘hand-rubbed traditional oil finish’ look. Two guns bought recently at auction had the stocks completely broken in half. They’ve now been restored to awesome status, thanks to TimberLuxe™!

As promised when we talked at the Renfrew gun show, here are a few pics using your TimberLuxe™ product. This is the best finish I’ve used in my 35 years of gunsmithing. You can use my pics and testimonial on your site; it would be an honour!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much wood will a 14.79 ml / .5 oz jar Finish treat?
From raw wood (5-6 coats): 2 rifle stocks or 2 sets of shotgun wood.
How much wood will a 59.15 ml / 2 oz jar Finish treat?
From raw wood (5-6 coats): 6-7 one piece rifle stocks, 9-12 two piece sets

How do I apply TimberLuxe™ Finish? Is it safe to get on my hands?
It can be applied with a brush, rag, or your fingers. Rubbing it on will ensure maximum penetration of the wood grain. Use fingers / hands to reduce waste. It washes off easily with soap and water, or mineral spirits.
Do atmospheric conditions affect the drying time of TimberLuxe™ Finish?
Yes. Cooler temperatures and high humidity slow the drying time. Optimum conditions are above 75° F and humidity below 40-50%.
How long do I wait between coats of TimberLuxe™ Finish?
With the right atmospheric conditions, 1-2 days. Typically 1 day is long enough, but the first few coats may dry much quicker.
What is the shelf life of TimberLuxe™ Finish?
If unopened, it will last several years. Once the lid comes off and the Finish is exposed to oxygen, you need to use it in 2-3 weeks. The Finish will start to turn into a jelly/marmalade substance, which is still usable at this point. At some point, it may become too thick to spread. As long as TimberLuxe™ Finish is protected from oxygen, the clock is not ticking.
We recommend cleaning the threads of the jar/lid after every use to keep it from sealing itself shut.
Is TimberLuxe™ Finish waterproof?
If it is applied as per application instructions, TimberLuxe™ Finish is waterproof after 5-6 coats.
Can I use TimberLuxe™ Finish on antique furniture as well?
Yes! Some of our best feedback has come from users applying it to antique furniture. In many cases the original finish does not need to be stripped, simply add TimberLuxe™ Finish to the surface of the original finish.
Do I need to remove the firearm stock to work on it before applying TimberLuxe™ Finish?
No - the Finish won't harm the firearm metal or screws.
How do I apply TimberLuxe™ Stain?
TimberLuxe™ Stain can be applied directly to bare wood, but it can also be applied over the TimberLuxe™ Finish. Use a lint-free stain rag. The Finish and the Stain can be worked together in repeat applications to provide the desired effect. Once complete, set the piece aside to dry for a day or two before handling.
