Do some research, don't take my word for it...but birch isn't orange.
Keep in mind, Orange is not a natural colour for Birch (PM sent)
Let's hope someone steps up! C'mon CGNers!
I may still do one more sand/steelwool buff and layer of Minwax Tung Oil , But below is the After effects of applying it.
Before
After
I also took the Fiberglass handgaurd that was sent to me. and painted it , The cream colored /Beige brown that it was painted from USGI was ugly/fugly.
I had some Really Dark brown paint made up for it , Think darker than cappuccino. but not quite black kinda like darker side of walnut.
Ill add a Full rifle picture after this I think its going to look quite good.
maybe pictures with better lighting would work out better to show the grains too lol , Meh phone lighting isn't so great.
Update.. Finished and fitted with the gun, scoped aswell..

I still see some stock showing.
edit.
By the way . the stock lightened up a lot with each layer of tung oil.
If someone wanted to do say 10 layers i would assume it would be very light and much more glossy/finished looking, as those who have done 10+ layers have said it would be so.

better picture with a bit better light.
Outstanding!
The rear one...what wood? Looks great btw...I also spot a ventilated handguard & rare fore-grip on the rear E2,
correct sling in a bag, M2 bipod, plus an E2 compensator on the front birch-stocked E2. Awesome!

The dark E2 came that way. I believe the wood is Birch with a heavy dark stain.
With a satin varnish is my guess. I purchased The bare stock from the EE sometime ago.
The light colored one is all Original With a light sanding 500grit and then Briwax
do u know What other types of wood were available in the E2?

Lee Emerson (aka Different) says that M14E2's were made of birch or walnut, but that at least one
cherry and one laminate have been discovered. If you haven't read Lee's M14 RHAD (research, history & development)
it is available to download (free) at the M14.ca website, and is an invaluable resource for all fans of the platform.
Good observation. Check out post 61 on page 7 of this thread.....an excellent photo of the difference
between the stock M14 and the E2 geometry. E2's have a higher cheek weld.
