Tominator Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project No poly today, they were still tacky. My basement must be too humid. I moved them upstairs at lunch, and I just checked them, think I can get a coat on them after dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project Here they are. Like I said, almost feel like apologizing for the difference in wood, but the buttstock was just so porous it being sap wood. The forestock, however, is a real pretty piece of wood IMHO. Might try and wet sand them today, don't know if there's enough build up on them though. 3 or 4 more coats ought to do it and I'll get them on their way Harv.

Tominator Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project Just a quick update, Harv and I decided to strip the forearm again, and stain and then apply finish. With school starting for me, I'm pretty busy, but the forearm got the stain tonight and will get the first coat of poly tomorrow. The buttstock will get it's 5th or 6th coat (to be honest, I've lost count ). Hopefully early part of next week it willl be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project They both look really good Chris. Too bad the butt wouldn't have poly'd up like theforearm. That would have been really sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project Got another coat on the other day. Hopefully I can buff them out, and put another coat on tonight. Now that the fore arm is stained, I think they match up pretty nice. I'll try and get a pic soon.

Tominator Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project Brought the stocks to school. Long story, but I should be able to finish them here sooner than if they were at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project Just got back from lunch. I wet sanded the butt---oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh, smoooooooooth. The forestock got it's 2nd coat. They look real good. Kind of a reddish walnut look to them. Not too light, not too dark. Shows the grain in the forestock pretty good. I'll get a pic tomorrow if I remember my camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project No, sorry. I remembered to bring my camera, but forgot/too busy to take pics yesterday. Now that I think of it, I left my camera at school. I think the buttstock is done. I'll have to see what the last coat looks like, but it's too the point where poly buildup will start to get too thick in some areas. It looks good. Forestock is just in the buildup stage. It now has 2 coats on it, so I'm looking to get it in the mail late next week. I'll get some pics this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Harvdog\'s 870 Express Refinish Project Hmmmm, 2nd pic is out of focus. Hard to tell on that little 1x1 screen. Sorry. Yeah, that's the buffed out version. Later that day the butt got its 8th or 9th and final coat (if it cured right), and the fore got it's 3rd or 4th coat. Shaun--send it to me in June and I'll be happy to do it. Too busy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
