Lots of flaming in that beech! Could be the wood was close to the middle of the tree (heartwood?) and that's why you couldn't get the light shade out of it. I like it

Hi all, recently I traded for this K31. When I saw it for sale, I thought to myself ,"there's a jewel under all that Walnut stain". So I got it home, and started the wood bleeching process. UGG!. I tryed bleeching this thing 3 times and I could not get the dark stain out of the Beech wood fibers. Dang!. I wanted to give her a honey yellow look to her, (glistening gold in the sun). Well it just didn't work out that way. So I stained it back to dark Walnut and went with that. Here she is, my new freckled gal... (sorry bout the toe pic) |

That sure does look unusual. How does she shoot? That's the real question! |
