From the previous page but from another forum.:

I don't know how long the process has been around, but it isn't new. Beretta made some shotguns several years ago with the same type of finish. It may still be available.

I think the process is the same as is used to apply the camo finishes to turkey guns, etc. The pattern is printed on a sheet and then immersed in liquid (maybe water?) where it floats on the surface. The object to be coated is dipped under the surface and the film sticks as it is raised out. It's hung up to dry and I think then sprayed with a clear coat.

No appeal to me but they look OK from a distance or in poor light. A real downside is that if you ever need to refinish your stock, you're in big trouble! I think a little stripper would result in some very plain wood.

Back in the 1840's some of the muzzle loading rifle manufacturers used acid to make fake curly maple stocks. I guess Opto Wood is the high tech equivalent.


Cheers,

Jeff Gray
