inlay for Lyman GPR

[lyman]

I would like to do some inlay on my Lyman GPR stock. Is there some one that has done this before? and what are some suggestions on how to do it. Will I have to sand down the whole stock and re-oil it to make it look right? Any help would be appreciated.

I sent you a PM with a link to a fantastic looking GPR.

 

Hey 54RB, Do you have access to some pictures of Hawken rifles to see what kinds of inlays were found on Hawken rifles? After you inlet the inlays there is no reason to sand the whole stock. Usually you can file and sand the areas that are effected from the inlay work and simply strip the finish off the rest of the stock then steel wool or burnish the whole stock with the green Scotch-Brite pads. After that go ahead and stain to your liking and seal and varnish. I recommend Laurel Mountain Forge stock finishing products. Sometimes stripping the old varnish off is as easy as painting on some LMF stain and immediately using the Scotch-Brite pad to take the finish off. Something in the LMF stain will soften finish if painted over it. Works like a charm. Good luck to you.
