Sorry. I wasn't very clear. I didn’t mean to get the checkering to any type of sharpness. Just enough to lose the pressed look.

Thanks, it's not too bad really. As long as looks better than the factory orange I'll be happy.

Nice right up, that was a pleasure to read!I make/refinish my own gunstocks and will often stipple them with a homemade tool. Wrote up a guest blog for Pyramyd Air on that if you are curious about how I do that...

by Tom Gaylord Writing as B.B. Pelletier Today's report is Part 5 of reader Vana’s excellent report on stock making.

I make my own cabinet scrapers as well. My burnishing tool of choice is an old push rod out of an engine.....Interesting how everyone has their own way of doing things.

Here's a few more pics of the stock before it's finished, for those who were interested in how I got it clean. I radius all sharp corners except the butt. All smooth and rounded instead of sharp and squared.
I never knew it had that dark streak on the left side with the orange stain covering it.

Good old spray tinted dye finish can hide many diferences
I will hold my tongue on rounding off sharp edges and softening the lines or edges.. Get that dye on and post.

Be a few days till it arrives. Wasn't fond of the sharp edges, not on this one anyway. Lets see some more of your dyed stocks while we wait, give me something to shoot for.

You can strip with baking soda really well. Especially down in the checkering. They make little airbrush blasters that do insanely good stripping in tiny places. If you get the media and pressure right it's very aggressive on the finish but hardly touches the wood. You can easily take out any blasting marks with 320 grit with a quick once over.
The soda blasters are cheap (harbor freight) and do a great job at a lot of things from erasing graffiti to headlight lenses. It won't raise the grain on wood at all if your careful.
Eastwood has little airbrush size blasters that can be used with a template for texturing and etching with Silicon or ceramic media too.
