After I sand the scales to 600-600 grit, I run it on the buffer with a fine compound. Then I clean it off with acetone and re-buff if I lift any grain. Repeat until it stays smooth. Then I take it in the house, turn on the electric stove and hold the handle over the burner until is it hot. Wipe it down with Johnson's Paste wax (yellow can). Wipe it down, let it cool, repeat total of 3 times and call it done.
For gunstocks, I use the "sanding in" method and get an absolutely great finish.

Good ol Linspeed. Some of the finest and most expensive guns in the world have stocks finished with bajillions of coats of hand rubbed linspeed oil. Nothing brings out the color and figure of maple woods and walnut burl woods like this stuff.
