Yep, sure do use it, I use it 50/50 with Danish Oil for all natural finish stuff I do. It is Tru Oil by Birchwood Casey.

Good stuff

Ya know, I have refinished a lot of gun stocks using Tru oil but never thought to use it on a carving. Guess you are never to old to learn something new.

i have used truoil on some carvings, and i actually smear a good coat of it on the handles of my carving tools about once a year. it gives a real nice "grip" to your tools.
