Very unique GB stock

[badrat55]

I stripped the factory tinted poly finish off my GB stock to refinish with oil, I was shocked and very pleased with what I found!

Agreed....uniquely beautiful wood grains and color.
No doubt that you've found a fantastic wood treasure!

most interesting grain pattern .... unique indeed .... nicely done

[ESquared]

Beautiful. Can't wait to see how it ends up when you're finished finishing it. That was one gnarly walnut tree!

[roddy]

Cool. That's going to look great once you get it oiled up. What type of oil are you going to use?

[badrat55]

Thanks guys!
I'm beyond happy with the wood!
I'm doing a Tru-oil finish

[RanchRoper]

That will look very good. Custom rifle.

Just got my GB back together,
I am beyond excited with how it turned out!

This gun was beautiful out of the box, but now it is a true show piece with a split personality lol

Looks good...that TruOil dries quick!
I'll have to try it out. I usually use many very thin coats of BLO (boiled linseed oil), or Tung oil. It normally takes at least a month with those slow drying oils.
