Question for the the wood workers here. Is there anything the at home hobbyist can do to factory wood stocks to give them a little more "pop"? I've got a Ruger No 1 that is rather bland in terms of character when compared to it's contemporaries. Without breaking out the torch and putting fake tiger striping on it, what can be done? Can filler be added in it's current state? Can it be buffed and oiled without stripping it down and starting over?


The next candidate is a 1970's Remington that I'm particularly proud of. It's wood is unlike any I've seen on a factory Remington. It has very nice grain and is a joy to handle. It does however have very open grain and I'm wondering if it would look even better if it were filled and oiled up and buffed some more.
