I stripped all the cosmo and finish off a M44 stock, and can tell that the wood is blonde. However, there are many discolored/stained areas left: esp on the cheekrest and thumbrest.
I want to de-stain the whole thing so its a uniform light wood before I re-finish it.
But I also want to preserve the slight darkening in the depressions of the stampings on the wood- so I don't just want to dunk the thing in gasoline and forget it.
What is the best way to "bleach out" my stock- I will do it by hand to preserve the markings as above.
Thanks,
