I have had great results lately using Dembart checkering oil. I have done several new stocks and refinished several others. Tru Oil is a bit too shiny for me. I used to use the Old Herter's French Red Filler and Leige finish with a wet sand and buff out with Rottenstone, stocks done with that method 40 years ago look amazing even today. Too bad that product is no longer available.
