Ones a 12ga and the other. .410.
He bought them both new from Woolworths back in the day.
Both had lots of surface rust and the wood stocks were beat up pretty bad.
These were farm guns and when I was dating his Daughter I remember them always being next to the kitchen door in case something needed shot.....like
Me...haha.
The .12 ga is finished and I'll start on the .410
Once I put another deer in the freezer.
I used a light gray wood stain with pre treater and burnished the woodgrain with a torch,sanded, applied two coats of satin poly and four coats of semi gloss spar urethane with steel wool
Treatment between each coat.
My father in law regrets selling them now...haha.
Gonna try a dark green stain on the .410.
Hopefully it'll penetrate better than the gray did.
May need several coats of stain between sanding.
