Wood stock refinish of a different kind

[loadnplenty]

So I am starting out with basically a perfect 10/22 stock that nobody wanted to buy.
The factory stock usually doesn’t have the best wood grain when refinished, so I am going to give wood burning a try on a rifle stock. Might work, my look like crap when I am finished but maybe I will learn a thing a or two along the way.

Typical stuff here for now. Stripping and hanging it out to dry.

I have also been searching for a green dye that would look decent in wood. So this here is hair dye. I am going to finish this piece off with some true oil and hope it takes some of the brightness out of it.

I did an airgun stock with a green latex Minwax wood stain...I don't recommend it. The latex dries too fast and doesn't penetrate the finely sanded grain. Never thought about a dye maybe that's the way to go. Good luck and post pictures when it's done.

I did a 788 stock with a green Minwax stain. I'll 2nd not recommending that route. Dye sounds like a possibility.
I ran across a video of someone using a lichtenberg device on a model 60 Marlin stock. That is a really neat burn pattern.
loadnplenty , you might want to look at that option as well.

I have seen the lichtenburg device. The patterned do look awesome!! I have considered it. Seems like a lot supplies are needed to assemble one.
