I started with a search but not really finding my answer
I picked up two mosins and I would like to refinish the stocks. I have found the process so doing it shouldn't hard but I would like to get a lighter then normal color with wood grain showing.
Most of the pics I have seen are the deep brown almost a red color and I don't see a lot of the wood grain. Is that because of them not showing up in the pic or because you don't have a lot of grain to be seen? Is the deep color the more historical color?
I don't know much about wood working so these might be simple questions that a wood worker could answer but I don't know any so you guys are my "experts"
