New stock for .22 Marauder

[plinker]

I'm recessing the inside of a blank Boyd's Blaster that I purchased. This will be an alternative to my synthetic stock. It's just fun to dress it up. I used a router, drill and moto-tool to cut it out. Now for a sealer coat. Any suggestions for surface coat? I haven't finished a laminate material before.

Wow beautiful stock!! I think I used an oil on the last one I did but it was many years ago.

Mike, my last one was oil and wax, but I haven't done a laminate. I love the sky blue, but it was hard to pick between all the available colors. I figured I'd save a good bit doing it myself, since I enjoy the labor.

Got mine from Norm at Disco's R us ,to replace my rather lack luster Gen1 stock,it's way more comfortable to shoot for me now...you will love it,mine has glossy poly on it,if I had it to do over again I would go with a Matte finish.

Deft clear wood finish did it on mine! Works great!

"Gunnertrones"This has potential!!

Great compliment coming from an expert. This was not quite as impressive as your masterpiece.

siscakidd thanks for the heads up. Matte may be good. I really like your rig.

Thanks mentolio and Matt. New furniture often makes it feel like a new gun!

I don't think it matters much being a laminate to a regular wood stock. I believe you could still use oils and waxes or you could put some poly on it. I think they would all work and make that beautiful stock pop.
