Gradually cleaning up a DHE 12

That's Nitre bluing, which is not easy to do and get the correct colors like Brian did. Good colors.

Well,

I FINALLY got around to working in a wood refinish on this 26" DHE 12g. I was very surprised with how well the wood cleaned up since it had pretty much no finish left on it and was very dark with grime. The grain is not highly figured, but attractive in its own right. The forend wood is a replacement from another gun. It was also refinished and the checkering all recut.

What type of rusting agent do you use and do you have to vent the ribs with weep holes. That deep black color is awesome.
