[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1464059, member: 74276"] I’m not sure how I’ll finish it yet. I’ve got a good buddy who’s a true old-world craftsma. He makes high end custom furniture, cabinetry, boats, etc who will be helping me finish it up. To keep it a bit more weather proof we may experiment with a final coat of varnish buffed out or a few coats of poly. My goal is to have a semi-weatherproof stock that shows off the beautiful grain and sets the rest of the rifle off. I’m also planning to hand checker it at some point too. I may add a pierce of ebony sapwood (white as a sheet) to the forend just for something unique but haven’t decided yet. Life’s too short to hunt with an ugly rifle ;) I think I remember seeing your Whelen build awhile back. [/QUOTE]
