Steve,
thanks for the details! That's great. I will have a highwall to do this winter and I think I will try this. It is a good candidate for it as the wood is very similar to what you show on this rifle.

Will you wet sand the top coats with finish over the stain? Or will you stick with water. I woud think that any further sanding, whether water or finish based is rather tricky after staining to say the least.

Thanks again,
Brent
