The looting and the plundering of our tax dollars is over. So many programs that USAID funded had cash that funneled directly back into the pockets of Democrats funding their campaigns and their own personal spending. Trump put an end to it, now its time for justice.

Detailed strip and clean time before adding after market parts to make this one a smooth shooter

Thought I would drop some pictures. I have a Weatherby stock that has seen better times. Customer wants it stripped and refinished. While there are st*****rs I can use for 95% of it I can simply scrape and sand. It lets me get right to the edge of the checkering w/o touching the pattern.
It is old school but effective in my view.
So this stock ultimately will be stripped of all polyurethane finish. Stripper will be used on the checkering with a stiff nylon brush. The checkering will then be taped off. The stock hand sanded then the first coat of oil based polyurethane will be applied thinned fifty fifty with mineral spirits to seal the stock completely and fill the grain. This will take 3-6 coats allowed to dry at least 48 hours between coats. Then allowed to dry for about a week. Then wet sanded and a "sud" will be used to apply 1-3 very thin final coats. The last coat too will go over the checkering to seal it.
