Rustoleum make an aerosol spray on truck bed liner that's $7 a can. The most common color is black, but if you can find it they also make a tan color.

So air drying causes that sheen that seems to run in stripes? I'm refinishing a walnut stock from a Marlin 336SS. The factory finish is meant to be durable instead of looking good. I stripped the...

What is/or is there a name for the luminescent tiger eye striping effect that appears in some walnut? It reminds me of the polished tiger eye stones. Thanks....Mike

I've been refinishing some gun stocks lately and the manufacturers are using birch more often these days to keep costs down. This one I dyed with dark green rit dye mixed with DNA. I mixed the dye...

I've been doing some gunstock refinishing lately and the "cheaper" ones are made from birch instead of walnut. The guys on this site talked me into trying dye instead of stain, I used RIT powdered...

Thanks Scott, because of you I'm going to have to find another project, since I'll be making my own finish. Maybe I'll refinish all the doors in the house. :D

The gunstock is made from birch, it's off of a Ruger 10/22. The factory finish really blocks the wood grain, I read that they seal it, then color, then topcoat. It's a very bland uniform brown...

Hi Todd, Problem is I don't have a spare piece of birch. I'm removing the factory finish which is a very bland brown. This particular gun is known for being hard to refinish, some blame it on some...

Hi everyone, my first post here at the creek. I've had some downtime due to a back injury, and I decided to refinish a rifle stock while waitng for my surgery date. Well the first one came out great,...
