Need you ask man
Need you ask..
🤣🤣🤣

Is that a laminate stock???
If so what type of finish you gonna do on it.

I have done 4 laminate stocks with tru oil and min spirits cut
50 50 cut.
Very hard to get penetration
220 sand was as far as I would go on em
They need adhesion surface.
Laminate is not a consistent "thirsty" as a natural grained wood, even those had differences between types.

Man I did that WW2 laminate birch and red glue G43 stock and posted it on here.
That thing was a nightmare.
3 attempts nothing would make a finish stick on it.
Tearing my brains out.
I 320 sanded it which was way too fine.

180 sand is what it took and entirely 75% min spirits and 25%
And long 3 day drying times between coats.

Looking back on that stock now.
I woulda done wipe on poly to it and called it good.


Hey buddy,
That is English walnut, I bought the blank from a guy in Ausralia, Roger Vardy, I just put the first coat of finish on today. I use a 2 part epoxy thinned with acetone.
I warm the stock in the oven until it's very warm, then paint it on until it quits soaking in... wet sand when it cures.... then a dozen coats of Tru oil.
Makes the wood relatively weather proof.
