Re worke d this stock last night and want sure what to do but don't want to paint it. Couldn't d linseed oil but red tung oil was the next best thing so put a coat on it and ....idk not sure how j feel about the looks , kinda think I should have done a dark stain or something. What all think ?

I like a darker stain. The reworking looks really nice.

What caliber is it going to be?

Tong oil or Danish oil

To me it looks like its almost just bare wood as is

What is the wood? a dose of stain won't hurt, depends on how dark you want it,

This is what I used , all I could find was this or teek oil

No clue honestly some. Kinda white wood best I can tell. Whatever Boyds makes there out of . But you can't stain far you put that tung oil on right ?

Yeah thought this stuff was supposed to get it a bit of a darker look but guess not

30-06

I coat of natural stain on this ole girl and 5 coats poly a while back

Laminate wood doesn't take stain or oil very good. Paint is your best option. Since its going on a 30-06 may I suggest cherry blossoms

I prefer a darker color myself.

Rub water on it and hit it with a blow dryer and wisker the wood. The water will tell you the color of the wood.

I am wierd birch (light ) is my thing

I would leave it just as it is, and let it wear with age. It'll change color you'll see.Take a cup of good pictures to compare in the future. i think it'll stand out in the gun case

In gun stocks or ????

Yes

If you only have one coat on it you could probably get some gel stain to to take
