    Getting close now. Hopefully just another hour or so of sanding and then we get to really see the grain when the sealer goes on

    Sanding completed, and first coat of sealer applied. Can now see the contrast and true colour of this piece. There are a few highlights lurking in the wood, which will show up nicely once all the finish is applied.

    Next update will be when it’s checkered and finished. Then it’s up for sale.

    Yep, 96.5 hours to be exact. That cheek piece added at least 15 hours to the total alone. Interesting that we riflemen put so much emphasis on something that is basically 90% aesthetics!
    If I’m building a functional field focused stock for myself, a cheek piece is NOT a feature that I bother with.

    What do you use for your sealer? and do you wet sand with oil to fill the pores?
