Here are the before photos. I asked Brain to bring down the comb and refinish the wood to bring out the figure. I believe he succeeded in enhancing the natural beauty without using a darkening stain. Such is the beauty of English or Persian Walnut Juglars regia . Most importantly, the gun fits me better. Outstanding work! Thanks Brian!

Jerry, that's a striking difference between before and after especially on the left hand side. Amazing work Brian.
Can you post a pic of the butt plate after the modification? |

I stand by my observation of faking the grain. All you have to do is look at the before & after photos I've been a stock maker for 40 years & know when the grain's been faked and/or enhanced. It's especially easy with English Walnut. You add black lines with an air brush or felt pin & some stains. I'm a purest when it comes to wood. Leave it natural and if you want highly figured wood buy good wood; don't fake it.

David, Please clarify your position. Are you saying that grain lines CAN be faked by some out there, just as a matter of saying? OR Are you insisting that I faked grain on THIS example in this thread? And then further accuse me of being a liar when I tell you that I did not??? If it is the former, then I agree. If it is the later... then allow me to show you the door.
