Here is my latest creation. Not my best effort, but I think it's OK. A 1750's smoothbore gun .54 cal. Very German in style. The wood is VERY dark (Mike, you should be proud!). It is a totally natural color, however. No paint or aniline dye was used. Aqua Fortis and the grain was filled with an oil varnish made with extra dark rosin, which added a considerable amount of color to the stock. Much darker than if I had done the same thing with a varnish with regular rosin, or if I had filled the grain with seedlac/shellac!
