Wood stock sanding and refinishing?

[Salmonfacesalad]

Of course I can do this myself but I'll just mess it up badly. I'd rather source it out to a pro.

I'm looking for someone to properly sand/prepare and stain/refinish a 10/22 wood stock.

Either a member here or a lead to business or individual that can do this with more patience and skill than I.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank you

Cool!

That's very nice work and if you can do that you can go all the way and refinish it.... not that hard I've redone 2 and turned out pretty well

I'll still mess it up.


Does no one on here do this? Or at least know someone? Any help is appreciated.

It would probably help if people knew where you were located so as to point you in the right direction.

I've done several myself and it requires some patience. I've never done one for somebody but would be glad to offer some advice if you want to try it yourself.
This one has several coats of a hand rubbed oil finish.

If you're in north georgia try Jon at Rough Creek Traders in Blue Ridge. He's a member here @jclem02 and is the man on 10/22's.

The problem is the 10-22 wood is not walnut generally and it's sort of like staining and finishing a 2x4. Hard to make it look "good".
A cool custom paint job wood look better to me.

10-22 is usually Birch wood. To which a sealer would have to be used for a uniform stain to take. Then a compatable finishing product.
