Quite a Transformation
3 Attachment(s)
Here are before and after photos of a wood refinish on a 20g. Repro DHE. The Transformation is staggering. It is hard to believe sometimes how much the wood appearance can be improved on these guns.
The original finish was stripped, the dimensions were altered by lowering the comb almost 3/8" and the heel by approx 1/16" to better fit the shooters requirements. The heel was able to be lowered by bending down the spur of the ssbp, which gave some wood to be able to work with. The comb flute was reworked to be more "classic Parker". A new finish as applied with ground sealer coats that real helped the color of the wood and the depth of the finish. Finally the checkering was recut and borders mullered. I also thinned out the splinter forend quite a bit for a more "Meriden" appearance. Before Attachment 68878 After Attachment 68879 Attachment 68880 |
Beautiful work. I had mine stripped, stained and refinished and the results were dramatic and well worth the expense.

Awesome job Brian! The transformation of the wood on this one is truly amazing!
You mentioned you used a ground sealer coat. I'm not familiar with the term ground sealer coat. Is this a variation of the sanding-in method or something else. Would you be willing to share the basics of what your referring too as the ground method for sealer coats. |
