[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 506860, member: 10178"] I am not a pro but have done a bunch of stocks. USE A SANDING BLOCK. That will keep you from rounding off sharp edges. To cut down on a lot of sanding use a liquid paint stripper and wash the old finish off. I like Birchwood Casey True Oil finish for wood stocks. Hand rub LIGHT coats and let dry for 24 hrs then lightly 000 steel wool then another light coat. 6 or 7 coats will look like the stock is under 1/2" of glass and it is really tough. If you want a satin finish just lightly rub the stock down with auto body polishing compound after your last coat. It will cut the shine off. [/QUOTE]
