	Experiment might sound odd, but try mixing coffee (not instant) with the oil, of course try it onna scrap bit first to get the right colour :) theres lots of ways to darken the oil, think outside the square

	I had a good go at the stock the last couple of days. Funny, I got really discouraged at one point and thought stuff it, I can't be buggered, but had a break and carried on. Once I cut the cheek piece I was inspired again. I am pleased that turned out ok as I was a bit worried. First coat of Tru oil to make it look purdy, and hang it out to dry.

	Pretty much finished now. Cheek riser done, just needs the action dropped in and butt pad. I will be keen to shoot it, I think the dense wood absorbs more recoil.

	Action fitted now. All going well. I might spend a bit of time tomorrow just shooting it to get it settled in. I will replace the bolts holding the cheek piece with a grub screw so they don't stand out, and countersink the main bolt underneath that holds the action. Next step is a hamster and butt pad. Then I will join a gym to bulk up to be able to lift it. :)
