Painting a wood stock tutorial

Just as the title says how to paint a wooden stock.
Rifle was built by Zack @WSMNUT, and his right hand man Kevin @Hntndad.
Kevin did a outstanding job of relieving this stock to give me ample clearance.
This is a prototype of the "ABR"
Adjustable Bag Rider.
I'll be painting a kestros for this demonstration
Bodywork is complete, primed in simtech polyester 20200824_162628.jpgStep 1 the foundation, I used ocher and white blended as my ground color.
Then taking poster board I tore irregular edges to air brush my heavy grain.20200827_120641.jpg this gets clear off to protect the foundation from the next step.
The grain, I used a scotch brite technique here. Spray and work small sections using slow solvent to give work time. Customer was concerned about where cut outs were not showing the white core.
I seriously told him to relax I got this.20200830_155849.jpg
2nd clear coat to lock it down. 20200830_163634.jpg 20200830_172711.jpg this clear is just to level the surface to get rid of texture created from wood grain.
Hold off on any comments good or bad there's more to come

So the stock in first pic is the same one in the rest of the pics?
 
"Absolutely 100% the same stock"

After meeting the "Rifle Rembrandt". You ever do faux wood graining on vintage vehicles?
 
I saw how you did it I just cant believe your talents. It looks like real wood. Your work is beyond amazing.
 
The transformation is un-real. Just when I think you have reached the pinnacle of stock painting, you raise the bar again!
Another stellar job Brett.
