I assume its a bog standard stock,if it is, strip it then read the posts above

What he said if its the standard beech stock its varnished so if you want a nice finish you need to strip off the varnish and then start from scratch as far as finishing goes, then ccl Next step back and listen to Geordie, take look at his stock thread and take any advice as a golden opportunity to learn

I had to strip the creosote of me leg end stock before I stained and oiled it

The stock I finished carving and checkering a month or so back, all it had was boiled linseed and a polish with 000 wire wool.
it takes a few months to build up the oiled finnish but its worth doing.

did you do that checkering by hand mate.

I did, very enjoyable job to do. Takes a lot more thinking about than carving the stock.
