Well...it's blue(ish), and very shiny.

As I expected, the dye was absorbed better in some places (curves and endgrain) than in others...it's a little blotchy. Next time I feel the need to add color, I'll use thinned down oil-based artists paint for a base, rather than a water/alcohol based dye. The finish turned out great, though...it's hard to convey through cell phone pics on a forum, but the stock looks like it was dipped in liquid glass. Personally, I prefer the natural look and feel of an oil finish on my stocks, but this one isn't mine, and Girly likes 'em shiny.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
