Hi BruceMT, just put it back together this AM. Sorry for the bad Photos, I will get better pictures outside when it gets nice. Best I could do with my limited skill set, I learned a lot though, and would do a few things differently. I would like to thank everyone who helped me in the process. Wishing you all a phenomenal and Healthy 2024

Hello All, Since I finished my M1917, I have put an additional 6 coats of Renaissance Wax on the entire stock, it looks better with each additional application. Today I poured a glass of water on the butt of my stock to see what would happen. It rolled off the stock like water rolling off of a duck's back. Renaissance Wax is awesome and I give it 2 BIG THUMBS UP~ Cheers and thank you again for all of your assistance, greatly appreciated.

In a pinch on an extended outing, I've even used Snow Seal. Works great.

Might as well use Renaissance Wax, can no longer afford Johnson Paste Wax. It was good too.

Just remember the wax is for the finish not the wood. Make sure your finish is 100% filled and sealed before waxing. If the finish does not properly seal the wood, some of stuff they sell today has polishing media (grit) that can eat up a fine finish plus chemical penetrants and oils that will soak right in any open pores and migrate into the wood under surrounding finish. Not a good thing at all . . . and by the way, make sure your final finish has cured properly for a couple of weeks before waxing.
