[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1469444, member: 2736"] If a stock has been finished with a coating (Gloss or satin) I like to strip them back to the wood. most finishes seal the wood but don't penetrate very deep, the rubbed finishes penetrate deeper and last longer. They are also easier to repair if needed. I have found some beautiful wood under some of the factory finishes after stripping and the rubbed finish brings out the beauty in them. So I would recommend stripping, sanding, leveling with wet or dry sandpaper and then start the process you did on your stock. Just the way I like to finish stocks. This is not the easiest way, but I feel it is the best for beauty and durability. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
