X-Ring rifle stocks

I have 2 XRing Stocks. The 2nd one is being built now. I have really enjoyed shooting my first XRing and am looking forward to shooting my second XRing when it is completed. Jason is good to work with. IMHO you cannot go wrong with an XRing.
 
Im partial to tangerines..or is it Oranges..lol
Freakin amazin all of them....yes enjoy the ride.....
and I have quit building rifles just to have them painted...seriously...quit.cold turkey..dammmnnn
There's a shooter's anonymous, dial...
1-800-GUN-SMITH.
John, Jason just sent me a picture of some quilted maple with what looks like some birdseye in it. Beautiful stuff!!
 
I tried to counter stain between the figuring a yellow/gold but it just made the purple figuring turn brown. Looked pretty cool but not LSU cool....more like A&M cool. :p
Curious if you sanded between coats, how many coats, and type of dye used?
I'm also wondering if you were to apply the purple in a strong mix 1st, sand stock, apply additional coats with a slight dilution sanding between coats exposing the hard grain, and finishing with a couple light coats of yellow or vintage amber no sanding should highlight the hard grain.
The highly diluted wash coats shouldn't alter your main color.
Just my random thoughts here.
I still love your outcome.
