[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2973420, member: 118876"] The smith used chromic acid, I think that's what it was called, it turned the powder white maple a burnt black. I do not remember how long he left the acid on the stock. After he removed the first layer or two of the burnt wood, which the stock was still really dark he asked me if I wanted to sand it to the color I wanted and I took him up on his offer. He told me that the dark black is the softer wood and the acid went deeper there so take off what I wanted as far as the color went and then he'd finish the stock. Hey he got free labor out of the deal, but I can't grip because it's took dark or light either. [/QUOTE]
