Hey Ren50, does posting a pic of a gun build count? even though I am not in it?
My latest, FN Mauser 375 H&H... did the cerakote on the metal today... should be done in a week or so
ππππ Need you ask man Need you ask.. π€£π€£π€£
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.
Man that has a big ole wide grain to it. Thru me for a loop Should look really nice with broad dark grain in it like that.
What will it have for a over all color tone??
Honey colored with black mineral streaks
