In this video I take an old Varnish stock off a smith and Wesson M1700LS from old and scratched to a mirror high gloss finish.
If you have ever wanted to completely refinish an old wood stock or just wonder what exactly goes into bringing a peice of wood back to life this in depth video is for you. It’s a long form step by step format. Will show exactly what I ran into along the way. The good and the bad. Hopefully this will motivate you to take your project to the next level, because anyone can do it. A little elbow grease and knowing what to look for goes a long way.
