I really like the way it turned out. I didn't photoshop picture at all and it's on natural settings so it looks like this in real life Enjoy.

I am using Nikon D4s, but it's all about light Any descent DSLR can produce similar result. Here is my setup:

MinWax and truoil

Which color of Minwax ?

 

[id64]

Which color of Minwax ?

Gun stock, 7 or 8 layers. More on upper hand guard. And about 5 coats of truoil followed by very fine steel wool to remove too much shine.

I was going to use some Tung Oil on some MNs. Your example is inspirational.

How did you get the original shellac off. Steel wool?

Easy Off. old CC, gas mask , rubber gloves. And then sanding.
