Thanks(stock mystery solved) and when you say hand applied I use a soft cloth or paper towel and wipe it on wait 5min and then wipe off until it is not too wet. I don't soak it just lighty and 5 min wipe mostly dry. And it should have had a walnut stock but Patrick hinted to it being something other then walnut. It does have that lighter scaley swirly area on it that would be evidence of that.
