Any ideas welcome? Smokey Quote Link to post

Unless anyone has a suggestion ? Smokey Quote Link to post

I think I should have put a second coat of stain on it to keep the stock darker. Dont forget to fire some photos up as you do it and good luck Smokey Quote Link to post

I have been moving house and done all the DIY i should have done when i was living there in 2 weeks so my stock is only half sanded, once ive got to a decent stage ill write it up but just like the DIY i will get round to it ATB Adam Quote Link to post
porkycrook 466 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Smokey the stock looks stunning, although i think you are right when you said about needing a second coat of stain. They say that the oil finish lightens the stock up, but it still looks lovely. GREAT JOB. ATVB Roger I have just done mine but forgot to take photos till towards the end. I will try and upload.
