[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 945313, member: 8980"] That looks really good. If I may suggest a couple things, it's often best to remove the finish with a stripper solvent. This way, it wont round any edges or remove any word. Any dents can actually be ironed out. :) Really, that's no joke. If you can talk your wife into letting you use her iron, wrap your gun in a towel and run the iron over the places where there are bumps. Your iron should be on the steam setting. What it does is impregnates steam into the dents and causes it to swell to its original state. It works wonders. Another thing you can do... you can use a hair dryer or heat gun and heat up the parts of the stock that are very dark because it has absorbed too much oil and stain over the years. What it will do is actually begin to seep out of the grain, and you can wipe it with a napkin until it reaches the color you desire. However, this doesn't work if it has a top coat of varnish on it. That looks really good. Did you use teak oil? [/QUOTE]
