Thread: More advise wanted re finishing a stock

Lately I've been cheating on the sanding and using fine plastic pellet bead blaster at mate's garage - this strips old finish off perfectly and needs only fine sanding prep before oiling.

If you haven't done this b4 lockdowns over, give me a whistle and I will do it for you. Have done heaps of them.
