It never occured to me!  I like the chiseled look in the mortice.  I have never ever even burnished the outside of the gonne, let alone the inside.  The last gonne I built was a matchlock, so I scraped the stock before staining and finishing.  I loved the scraped look.  I did it as nicely as I could, but I did not want it too smooth.  I always got too frustrated tring to make the outside look good.
