So I bore easily , and here last few months I've been wanting to try a finishing technique on a gunstock that is semi-popular in guitars .
Its where you cover the wood in lighter fluid and LITERALLY Burn off the finish in places . Your not trying to make charcoal just give the wood a unique appearance. Well I knew nobody was gonna let me set their FWB stock on fire so I did my own . Yep set her down on an old log , dowsed her down with lighter fluid an then FLAME ON !!! You constantly keep squirting charcoal lighter fluid until you get a good char . Anyway after many 30 seconds ( felt like a half hour) I hose her down with a water hose and brushed off the char an then sprayed the whole thing down with Truoil spray . Here Is the result
Hope you guys like it ...I should have taken a pic as it burned but was watching to make sure I didn't get outta hand first ...But it looked a Lot like top pic
Leave me you opinion . Be honest , I can take it !
