[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 551585, member: 2736"] Sorry no one got back with you. I was out of town or I would have offered some suggestions . I like to strip a stock first to hopefully leave the checkering in good shape then use 4x steel wool to level the wood grain. Next I apply several coats of a good sealer,sand with steel wool, then apply one or two coats of the finish and allow to dry good 24 to 36 hours. Wet sand until all the shine is gone and let dry. Apply another coat of finish and inspect for blemishes and wet sand these. repeat process until the stock is the way you want. use the 4x steel wool to bring back most of the shine. Finally, apply the finish coat to suite you. I do not use wax because it makes the stock slippery and does not allow touch up later with the finish coating in case of a scratch or ding. (To touch up, I use a little finish on a lint free cloth on the area damaged and just rub it in). Not much help now, but maybe later. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
