Scherell's Schaftol

Scherell's Schaftol – Professional care for your wooden stock

A beautiful wooden stock needs care so it does not dry out, crack or absorb moisture. Scherell's Schaftol is well known among hunters and shooters for its stock oils, based on natural products and a secret recipe that has been used for generations. We recommend Schaftol for everything from your antique hunting rifle to your modern air rifle or your PPS Airsoft models in wood and steel.

Protection against the elements

Schaftol is not just cosmetic – it is a deep treatment that gets your gun ready for wet weather:

• Water-repellent: The oil penetrates deep into the pores of the wood and forms a barrier against rain and moisture. The ideal partner when you are out in your Ocean rainwear.

• Helps prevent rot and fungus: With regular use, the oil stops micro-organisms breaking down the wood from the inside.

• Brings out the grain: Whether you use the light, dark or red-brown version, the oil helps bring the natural grain and colour of the wood to the surface.

Find the right colour for your gun

We stock several versions of Schaftol, so you can match your type of wood:

1. Schaftol Light: For light woods, or if you simply want to keep the current colour of the wood without darkening it.

2. Schaftol Dark: Ideal for walnut, or to give a worn stock new life and depth.

3. Schaftol Red-Brown: Gives the wood a warm, classic glow often seen on high-end hunting rifles.

How to apply Schaftol correctly

For the best result, follow this simple guide:

• Preparation: Make sure the wood is clean and dry. Remove any surface dirt with products from our cleaning and maintenance collection.

• Application: Apply the oil in a thin layer with a lint-free cloth. Let it soak into the wood (preferably overnight).

• Finishing: Wipe off excess oil with a clean cloth and polish for a satin or gloss finish as you prefer.

• Storage: Once the stock is saturated with oil, it can stand safely in your Scandinavian Safe gun cabinet without being harmed by humidity.
