OK, last night before I went to bed I brushed on the second sealing coat. It went on just like the first but not nearly as much absorbed into the stock this time.

These two pictures while not very clear show a better representation of the true color this stock is taking on.

I brushed the inletting again also. The inletting now has 3 coats on it and the outside has two.

At this point we have about 3 1/2-4 hours of actual work into the stock and are ready to start the hand rubbing process.
