The stock of my new Savage 112 is a green tinted wood(?). Is it real wood, is that a dye in the wood? can it be bleached out?
I had a dark walnut stock off of a Mark V that I wanted to color with stain. I used the Oxalic to turn the wood white, then used a gray stain to color.well maybe its Grey
I found the less time I left it on, the less it bleached the wood white. For what I was after it took a couple applications.In your bleaching of it did you notice any intermediate stages before the white that might have been a good stopping point? I dont want white , but maybe I could re-stain it after bleaching. I like a warm brown. Dont know what kind of wood that would be, but used to be ALL guns were made with it...maybe Wallnut?
