Repro Stock Touchup

[Ron Groves]

I bought a repo 20/16 ga DHE with a scared up stock. I totally stripped the stock, steamed out the dents and sanded it very smooth. I masked the checkering. I refinished with Tru-Oil. Rubbed in many coats and later use linseed oil about once a year. It turned out very nice.

How about showing us Before and After pics of both sides of your handiwork in the “Let’s see some wood” thread? Here’s that thread: https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8965

I’m quite sure all would appreciate seeing them!

How did you strip it?
