That over and under came out beautiful. Both of the wood stock guns look great.

Thanks! Every now and then someone talks me into giving their wood a good rubbing.

Didn't take any real good before pictures but the finished product turned out pretty good.

Your work speaks for itself. Looks top notch to me. But let’s lean this post a little more towards the amateurs, please sir. I know that’s asking a lot when most of us have to hire out a lot of the finishing work to the pros like you.

This was moved to gunsmithing and repairs, I swear I was this “ close to posting it there originally… sorry mods, thanks.

Reweld and semi conversion on a mg42/59. Not my personal gun, customers but I did all the work.

I’ve recently got into restoring and modifying wood stocks, including recoil pads, shortening LOP, etc.

I need to start taking “before” pics.

This is the finished product of my personal Marlin 375. Stripped the factory finish, the sanded it down with progressively finer grits. Mixed a little American walnut stain into boiled linseed oil and rubbed it in numerous times over the length of a day, until it wasn’t soaking any more in.

Lastly, I rubbed Laurel Mountain Forge Permalyn finish in with the grain, using 0000 steel wool, wiping it off immediately.

Also the first Marlin “bullseye” that I’ve fitted to a stock.
