Stock Finish After Assemby

[Swampman]

How many of you partially assemble a gun, and continue to build up finish on the stock? This walnut is taking a long time to fill the pores.

I wet sanded it with linseed oil and used flat black paint, but not all the pores are filled.

I'll let you know how it goes.

It depends on the gun your making.
I think many of the military type armmakers didn't care so they left the grain open.

If you want the grain filled, then back to the sandpaper. :grin:

Anyone ever hear the old linseed oil application rule? Once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, once a year after that. I have to say it sounds like your love life after you get married. :rotf:
