What do you use on your gun furniture?

I have an over under Remington shotgun with extremely dry furniture and am wondering what you use to keep your gun woods preserved and maintained.
Some have suggested mineral oils or furniture polish.

Tru-oil works good, but you have to do quite a bit of prep work.

I like Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil too. It leaves a glossy and hard wearing finish.

I have a big metal can of Boiled Linseed Oil. I recently refinished an SKS stock, and am now doing the same with an old Mosin-Nagant stock. After a few coats of BLO, I rub Tom's 1/3 mix (IIRC, it's a mix of BLO, turpentine, and furniture wax) on the whole thing. Looks nice, smells nice, and the stock sure feels nice afterward.

Since the wooden-stocked rifles I have besides milsurps were bought new by me, their stocks are still basically new and not yet in need of mpisturization, but I suspect that in the future, I'll disassemble them and rub some of that wax on the inside parts of the stock just to protect them.

It is nice to see that there are actually still folks that have guns with wood furniture still on these forums. I was beginning to think that "if it ain't black, just leave it on the rack". Meaning the overwhelming majority of black guns talked about on this site.
