What was used to finish stocks prior to the Soviet Era? We’re they oil, pine tar, shellac or a combination?

The Soviet era in Russia began after the 1917 revolution, it was some years in gaining the upper hand and solidifying power. Finland was part of Czarist Russia and declared it's own independence in 1917 and then fought it's own civil war using captured Czarist Mosins on both sides. October revolution in Russia- 24-25 October 1917, Finnish independence day 6 December 1917, so it could be said there was no time period were there was an independent Finland prior to the Soviet era ( in the 20th century)
