Nice job! Much better than the original!
870 stock refinish
This is my youth 20 gauge 870, 21” barrel. I bought this new in 2017 as I’ve always thought these are such handy little shotguns. I haven’t shot it much since I bought it. I put a Carlsons IC choke in it and have shot mostly about 50 rounds of Winchester and Remington #3 Buck through it. It has become a secondary HD gun mostly. Next turkey season I plan to get a turkey choke and try hunting with the 20 gauge. The gun shoots great and is really pretty slick operating for not being shot much.
Anyway, I really didn’t like the thick dull crap brown finish on the wood. Decided to strip the wood and put some Tru-Oil on it. The wood’s not great but I think it looks much better. As good as it can I guess.

Yes the smaller frame 20 ga I think makes it look longer proportionally. But it’s 21.
Here is a comparison next to my Beretta A300 with 28” barrel which I also recently refinished the wood on.
