Am I wrong in my judgment that this is a black walnut stock?

 

[Phil Coffins]

Yes, black walnut.

Anyone know what “yellow dye” Dave uses on American walnut?

@Loja man , did you use the black, yellow, then brown staining routine that Dave Person spoke of?

Yes and no. So yes, I used the black and yellow dye like Dave dose. No in that I used one coat of diluted nut brown LMF stain. I think on some of his he uses a different color of stain after the black and yellow dye. So same process, just a different stain at the end

Thanks. I’m considering a refinish on my GPR and was curious. That rifle turned out beautifully by the way.

Hey Will,
If you search the forum for “staining American walnut” thier are a couple other threads where Dave talks about his process of staining and sealing American Walnut.
