A local guy (private) who picks up work from different gun shops around here. I sometimes visit him to see what interesting guns or wood hes working on. When it comes to wood finishing, he explained to me how he gets a good satin finish. He simply stains the stock, using either stain or wood dye, which depends on the type of wood. Then simply uses Minwax wipe on poly. The results look great.

How do you guys feel about this process?
