[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2917642, member: 69192"] Actually we found original NOS stocks for this shotgun. My son said we could go that way, however he preferred to keep the old stock even if it didn't come out the way we'd like. I'm going to do my best to make this one look original. I think that you are absolutely correct about the white birch, I know it is going to be tough to get a good stain on it. My plan is,[I] once I get the checkering cleaned out[/I], is to try torching the wood just enough to bring the grain out, and then sand the wood smooth leaving the grain marks. My son is an automotive paint technician who works with automotive paint on a daily basis. I told him that there was going to be an issue with tis wood taking a stain and told him that he "may" have to tint his clear when he puts the final coat on the stocks. He has done this before on some woodwork on my boat. The finish came out looking like it was original wood with a simple teak oil on it. [/QUOTE]
