Pics of "plain" maple stocks

Let's see your "plain maple" stocks....If you don't mind I'd be interested in how it was finished and what was used....


I've been looking at long rifles online a bunch...I thought a curly maple tiger stripped stock was awesome...And they are...The holographic effect and the color contrast etc makes a very cool piece of wood...


But I stumbled on a few "plain" maple stocks that have really caught my attention...One of Kiblers kit guns  finished by  him..

I'm really interested in seeing more....

This Don Bruton gun was made with a slab sawn piece of plain maple from Dunlap. If I remember correctly Don used aqua fortis as the stain an then there has been many coats of boiled linseed oil as the finish an then I topped all that off with about 4 coats of Chambers oil finish to help guard against momma nature as best as I can

Just beautiful...Both of them...... Something about the simplicity and "warmth" of the look. Don't know if that's what I want to say or makes sense...Just has a "warm glow" to it..
