@CulpRJ Awesome! I play mostly guitar, but I can play banjo and mandolin fairly decent. Never touched a Uke though.

Have you ever tried applying Tru-Oil with a cat?

i was thinking about making a stock from scratch for my winchester 121 do you think that baltic berch would be a good wood or just go straight walnut its my first one im making by hand

@dunbar1471 go hardware store ask for "paint and wood stripper" speed process up, and use "plastic wire brush" DON'T USE METAL WIRE BRUSH! let stripper work on old finish for about 10 to 15 minutes,it may take few tries with stripper, you'll get it, when you get all the old finish off, wipe gun stock down with mineral sprits, hang stock up for 24 hours to dry, then you can start sanding it smooth and apply stain or your new finish....

@Jabshier1980 thank you very much between you and these videos i should have a nice looking stock although I do have another question what do I do if I don't use the boiling water, steam away method. Whats a good way to remove the old finish another way?

[Jabshier1980]

@dunbar1471 No, need to sand between stain, stain soaks into wood, only time i will sand stain if it's too dark for me I want to lighten it up a little bit, then I'll let the stock and stain dry very well fo about 48 hours, then lightly sand the wood to make stain a little lighter....I'm not a big fan of of stains, I use them, just not as much, I prefer my wood Natural....

[dunbar1471]

@Jabshier1980 hi you sound like a good person to ask. do you sand in between coats of the stain?

[dunbar1471]
