All of the above...realize that "some" gunsmith processes are PFM...purely fantastic magic...and you've got to try and remember which pair of teeth you held your tongue between when they worked last time! When I worked down the street at the "B" company, wood finishing was one of the top ten subjects I was asked about. Two different sticks of wood may respond quite differently to the same technique, so you do need to have several methods in your bag of tricks.
