Always thought the Green Laminate stocks looked cool...
« on: April 16, 2012, 01:52:06 PM »
...but I'm too cheap to buy one.  ::)   ;D
 
So I refinished a old pallet wood stock.
I think it turned out okay.
 

 
That's a 25-06 sitting on it.

Nice work!  You guys with wood workin' talent make me jealous.  BTW, I thought I was the only one reloading with "vintage" powders.   Love those round paper cans! ;D

I'll check when I get home, I bought it at Lowes.
Custom blend, as in they don't normally stock the color just mix it when someone wants it.
