Mark, again I am awed by your artistic talent. And again, I have to say that seeing it on a gunstock is simply not to my personal taste. Yes, I feel the same way about cuckoo clock wood carving on a gun stock.
On the other hand I'm a big fan of your grain painting; in that case you are just helping nature out a bit for her failure to make all walnut blanks equally beautiful. One day I hope to find the right plain stocked gun to employ your talents on...Geo
I totally understand where you're coming from. Thanks for the kind words.
I put a coat of poly finish on the dog for protection, and then multiple coats of oil finish for luster over that.
