Wow, that is great! Thanks for sharing. I think you've got too much time on your hands though and should stop by and do mine!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I hope I have encouraged people to bring out the hidden beauty in their birch stocks. I like walnut stocks as much as the next guy and I know some don't care at all for the blonde look of birch, and only want the walnut look, but I think birch looks better as birch rather than as faux walnut. I read a lot of frustration on the CMP forum from people trying to make their brown-stained birch stocks look more like walnut. I hope I have shown that there is another way to go, but if someone has a birch stock but really wants walnut, in my opinion the best thing to do is to sell the birch set and buy a walnut set with the money. I think they will be more satisfied in the end, rather than struggling to turn their blonde into a brunette. The blonde (birch) roots will still show!

The blonde look of birch is like riding a Moped, really cool and alot of fun but you don't want anyone catching you doing it!

Only joking, they all look great!
