I need to get the rifle outdoors...my flash is really washing out the grain pattern. Here's a couple photos that give you a little better idea of the color and grain pattern. The previous owner applied 10 coats of BLO directly over the stained oil based finish that the CMP puts on their stocks. The stock looked nice but was a drab chocolate brown color when I received it and the lower handguard was lighter than the rest of the wood. I used a light application of Fiebing's medium brown dye to "tone" all of the wood to match. It also gives the stock a nicer looking red undertone. After dying the wood I followed it up with 2 more BLO coats. At some point I will add some Tom's 1/3 wax mix.<img src="https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i181.photobucket.com_albums_x97_mach_won_CMPStock069E.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i181.photobucket.com_albums_x97_mach_won_CMPStock068E.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
