refinishing

Have one of those favorite rifles that always hits where you want, feels just natural in your hands with just right balance and weight?
But you find yourself wondering if you should get a new one because it really has seen better days and looks like a battle field pick up in the rack compared to the others?
Why not just give it a vacation at the "gun spa"?
Give it a fresh finish or a whole new look, and still have that same old familiar feel you love.
And of course the wife will be happy it wasn't a thousand dollar bill for a new gun!

These pics show an old stock which has obviously seen better days.
They also wanted a darker look than the original European walnut.
Sorry for having to break it up, it was the only way to get semi close shots and fit the whole thing.
