I sent the pics to you gary. Should I color this stock? How much more needs to come off before the acetone soak? If I am not to color what finish should I use? How does Thompson water seal work..do you know? Thanks.
I wouldn't color it, John.
What finish? Depends on how you'll use the gun.
I don't know about Thompson's Water Seal, I never used it- one can't possibly try everything on the market! (Although I have heard lots of good things about it, and know that John Bivins used to use it on his period-correct muzzle loader stocks.)
