Really interesting stock, the first spalted one I have seen. Lots of guitars but unusual on a rifle stock. I like a light suigi or flame finish on ash axes and baseball bats. If done very subtlety it enhances the grain and color. Overdone it looks cheap. Ash responds well to potassium permanganate too, same thing as the flame needs to be very subtle or it looks bad. It is easy to sand back to almost bare wood.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
