Dark wood stock cleanup

[Jim Thynne]

I learned this trick from George Flaim many years ago, But I also wanted to open the pores so I could re shellac the Parker colors back into the wood.(a Filler) you should only use flake shellac, the orange was what George found out from an old Parker employee many years ago. You can fill the pores with the orange shellac after the pores have been opened to change the color back to what Parker used as a filler, and as a stain. I think we old timers that remember George will recall his stocks were hard to tell from the original Parker colors.

The wood was completely refinished and the checkering recut. Kip Wood at Central Michigan Gunsmithing did the work. He has done work for others here. Send me a PM and I'll give you his phone number.
