oldemagics
well here it is finished!
been done for about a week, but just now had time to get pics.
remember from the first thread, this was pretty much solid rust,crap finish on a broken stock, which someone had tried to BURN checkering into with either a hot nail or soldering iron or something...

    If you still have a before pic it would be interesting to see that posted in front of the finished product.

    i wish i had an original condition pic at all!
    bought this one when i was 14 at public auction, did the first work same week..took a rasp to the stock cause i just couldnt stand the damage to it from the so caled "checkering"
    last year did the polishing and had it blued after all these years cause i met up with my current mentor. re-did the finish at the same time, from poliurethane to oil
    and after a year of practice just did the stock work.

    When I read the name of the thread I thought perhaps the Exlax had taken effect.

    Nice work on the gun though!
