Thank you for better explaining how to “steam out” dings in a wooden gunstock. I have watched many other RUclips videos that failed to do that. I recently purchased a 2nd hand coach gun on line from a company that creates them from old SxS shotguns. It arrived functional but very ugly (stockwise). As you mentioned at the end of your video it would be advisable to remove the stock from the steel before attempting your technique. Kindest regards 😉!
Good video - I need to do something similar to my BSA airrifle beech stock. I was concerned about whether I needed to sand it down first (don't want to do that) . Thankyou
I just realized that I did not respond to your question about sanding the stock down. Under normal circumstances, I would say no. I got a number of dents out of the stock that I used in the video without sanding it. The heat did not cause any discoloration or damage to the finish and I was very pleased. However, the rifle had some broken fires as I mentioned so I did ultimately send it down, but it is not necessary for a simple dent.

As long as there are no broken fibers in the wood, this method is pretty effective...it just takes time. Thanks for watching BGB!
