Jungle carbine re finishing Q?
This one isn't mine but I really like them in this coloration, has anyone tried to reproduce this and have any tips? I have a JC with brand new wood so I was thinking of copying this if I could. Thanks R

No.5 wood
Doesn't it depend on the wood below?
I have attached a couple of pics of one of mine. When I got it, it had been varnished. Got rid of that and found that the wood underneath was protected and perfect. It was still dark in colour. I used some red mahogany woodstain for the initial colouring and then applied LO and then BLO. After that I rubbed in various colours of artists linseed oil paint with fine wire wool until the colour was right (for me).

RJW my butt, well I should say my No5 butt is similiar it appears to be the beech?? that has been stained by the dirt impregnated cosmoline. Light sanding seems to bring this appearance out. I like it too. but can't get a match with my furniture, so a thinned stain is going to have to be applied.
