Demonwolf444, the technique is taught by Mohawk Industries. I have adapted their technique to gunstocks and have 30+ years of learning how to blend all the needed colors together in order to make it look good. The only down side is.. One must use a build up finish in order to get the needed 3D layer of the wood. Craftsman of the past have used many methods over the centuries of wood replacement. I continue to learn "new" ways to improve on non building finish repairs. Yes a good eye for colors helps too. I got started doing repairs because UPS was breaking one gunstock a week at Kimber of Oregon where I was employed as the Finisher. Boss brought me the Mohawk powder stains and laquer with instructions to get the stocks fixed and ready to go in two weeks. I had a very short learning window. It seems I have an eye for color. Thank you all for your comments. Thank you Craig for posting this project. It made my client very happy.
