The stock after two lye treatments.
This is after a coat of Laurel Mountain Forge Walnut stain. I was afraid of the
wood being to red as Cherry can be. This one coat darkened it enough to my
liking.
After a couple coats of finish.
This was one of the hardest decisions to make on this whole build. Whether to
leave the cherry natural without any stain or just a lye treatment. But I
really wanted a darker aged look similar to what Welcomes rifle looks like
now. I'm very happy with what Roy has achieved here.
