I'm about to start in on a nice custom stock, and I can get the thing shaped and smoothed no problem, but the final finish is trickier. I recently redid my 1894 marlin stock by sanding it smooth (finished with 1000 grit sandpaper) and then about 8 coats of tru-oil. no grain filler, no stain. attached are pics of the results.
Is there a way to fill the grain so all the little black grain pores do not show or are less obvious? They tend to hide the grain of the wood on the final product.
