Forest green touch up

As far as I'm aware all the superlight stocks are made from poplar regardless of colour Peter.
It is very easily damaged though.

Didnt know that’s what made them super light.

I did manage to stain mine dark with various strengths of walnut crystals once the lacquer (and the chequering) were sanded off and then danish oiled it but in the end I gave it away.

My stock was strong but had ugly grain, another club member had a beautiful blond stock but it snapped in half. Not sure its the right wood for gun stocks, skirting boards maybe.

Rustin's Wood dye, they do different shades in walnut.
I refinished a walnut stock, after sanding off the old finish, I mixed a red,art, oil based paint (gradually) with True Oil stock finish, until I had the desired shade, a warm transparent hue.
It's easier to apply true oil by hand, with less risk of runs in the finish, than a spray on application.
Look on youtube for videos on how to hand finish guitars.
'hope this helps.
