No, I did not have the L.C. checkering recut on the one pictured above or the one pictured below ....the stain I use for all my stocks is MinWax #225 Red Mahogany.....it allows me to adjust the color up or down depending on the gun I am working on....I like that flexibility..........

On the old Fox A Grade stock above, I did have the checkering recut.....

*Pooch:

Thank you...


Here's a Field Grade L.C., same process....





Great work. I use the Minwax dark walnut quite a bit and also like their "gunstock" color. That red mahogany color looks great too.
