redo the stock

[todd9.3x57]

last time i was asking you guys what would take the Johnsons' paste wax off of my rifle, but i didn't. i instead took Citri-strip and took everything off. i sanded with 400 grit and then copper wool. then i cheese clothed it and put 5 coats of Minwax Antique Oil. then i put 3 coats of Minwax Poly oil/mineral spirits (3:1). i didn't feel the need to rotten stone/3in1 oil, it was smooth and shiny!!!

That stock looks great.
Nice work.
That is a great looking stock like the type of wood and details like the shaping and the way the nose cap in installed.

The finish you did actually brings out the details or shape of the stock.

A beautiful rifle. A stepped barrel with open sights. Still has the factory turned down bolt handle and safety. A true gentleman's sporting rifle, like the ones from a time gone by. Excellent work.
