I like the weathered blue too...not too "in your face" bright.
Did you ask the birthday girl what her favorite color is ?

Exactly; it gives a touch of color while remaining understated.I like the weathered blue too...not too "in your face" bright.
Didn't need to....her favorite colors are blue and green. The greens seem way too bright. See? I pay attention.Did you ask the birthday girl what her favorite color is ?
Water-based.Are the stains water based or oil?
Yeah, I'll definitely do some testing first.Get some sample wood that is the same wood as the stock. Sand well apply the stain and then use one coat of what you will finish with to get a true sample.
Agreed. I really like some of the colors used with the laminate stocks these days. I don't want to overdo it with this one though, and it's not really this daughters' personality anyway. But, I have another daughter who will get one just like this next June, assuming I can find another for a reasonable price, and her personality is definitely the brighter, bedazzled type.I think colors are kewl, and was planning on doing one of mine in color. Don't forget to "Bedazzle" it too....
That looks pretty cool (if you like pink).Dunno if you saw my thread about doing my Wifey's Pink M60...
Tru-Oil has a tendancy towards Yellow/yellowish-brown...
Which on a Blue-stained stock may edge it towards Green/Greenish...
