[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3156462, member: 13284"] IMHO I probably wouldn't add any stain or dye to that stock. It might not look right otherwise. At this point it may look ugly, but at least it looks correct. The Romanian AK stock shown above was stained with British Tan Fiebings dye, lightly treated with pine tar / turpentine mix, and finished with dark PTO. It's base color is decently close to a finished Yugo stock if the OP feels that he must use stain. Fiebings works best when used as an alcohol based dye. It doesn't mix well with oils. If mixed with alcohol, the stock can actually still be stained after applying oil as the alcohol acts as a carrier for the dye. [/QUOTE]
