The next big step in my "gunmaking education" is to learn to do the sanded-in type finish, ala Phil Pilkington. I have a Parker that was refinished with that style, and with a homemade copy of his proprietary finish. I like the finish on that gun better than any other I own. In using his pore filling procedure the sawdust from the stock itself, mixed into a slurry with the finish, completely fills the pores.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
