I filed down and sanded a stock to fit me. This is fairly good restock done by an amateur but left way to high. I got the files and sandpaper out and part of the stock is now raw wood while the rest was stripped leaving the dark birds eye areas and some color. The color of the stock originally is what I would call Golden Oak Minwax color in the trades.
I can sand down the rest of the color if need be to raw wood. I do not know what process is used to bring out the birds eye effect. Do I use a stain like Minwax which could be blended or is there a special treatment that is needed.
Anyone with experience with this to guide me would be appreciated. I don't want to take a chance and put the stain on and have to sand it off if it does not work correctly.
Thanks in advance,
Milt
