Laurel Mountain Maple Stain with no iron added. 7 coats of Tried & True and lots of sun. Seems to me that the stain got lighter basting in the sun between coats........labrat
Very nice indeed!!
And look at that engraving!
Sexy!

All of the maple stocks that I have done used AF/Iron nitrate. You convinced me to try stain only. Very nice! I wish I could engrave as well as you.
This was not your first, was it?

2 years ago I built my first kit a Kibler Colonial. That was my first introduction to flintlock rifles and building a kit. All the questions and how to information I received was from this wonderful web site. I knew how to engrave but that was the extent of my building knowledge. Thank goodness for a great Kibler kit and the helpful people on this web site. My Colonial was finished as per Jim's instructions using iron nitrate so it's a wonderful dark extra curly maple. This woodsrunner is my 2nd build and I wanted it to be light in color so it would show nicely on my wall. Haven't shot a flintlock yet. I've bought everything I need to shoot so maybe in a week I'll give it a try. Looks pretty cool on u-tube........labrat
Beautiful job you did on that gun, my woodsrunner is my first black powder. Fired it maybe 30 times at a club event so far, and it is blast!! Just remember powder-patch-ball as it won't work any other way (as I found out the hard way) hi 
That is a fantastic rifle with the engraving & carving.
