porkybella 284 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi ive managed to find a stock pretty cheap at £25 quid the refurb will start shortly ive got all my grades of paper and wire wool and ive gone with a mahogany stain looks decent in the can. But i mite change stain before then as i fancy a green stain. I was gonna go with it being hydro dipped but i think there boring after a while. Im also toying with the idea about having porkybella engraved or inletted in the side of the foregrip. This stock is just a project atm and hopefully will turn out great i will keep all you posted as i continue to refurb all the best rob 3 Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 looks a nice stock to work on mate, nice grain in the wood. will the mahogany stain make it go a deep dark red type color? deffo get porkybella on it give it the personal touch, like your sling 1 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Looks like it's had a few dings Rob but, the grain is beautiful. For £25 it's a hell of a bargain to work with. You'll have a beautiful stock at the end of this. Keep us posted how you go mate! Simon Quote Link to post

porkybella 284 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Im trying to have it done for the meet nxt weekend. Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 might sound quite gey saying this, but, is it pretty hard work sanding it down..? do you have to put quite a lot of elbow grease in to it? I bet the curvy bits are hard work..? hope it comes out really nice for you mate Quote Link to post
porkybella 284 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Yeah time consuming no point in doing half a job skot. I use my fein multitool sander for most of it then finish by hand. You'd have arms like swarznegger if you done lot by hand lol 1 Quote Link to post
