[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2971332, member: 87371"] Spoonbill-- Take to heart what JustinP61 says about darkening the stock with aqua fortis. I have done several fiddleback maple stocks this way -- one on a Hawken rifle replica. Anothr was on a Santa Barbara Mauser in 7 mm Rem Mag. Finished with Tru-oil after darkening. Both turned out really well. Darkening with aqua fortis and heat did a great job of darkening the wood without masking the figure of the wood. I have used a propane torch and a gas stove burner for the heat to darken the wood after applying aqua fortis. [/QUOTE]
