    I've done stippling in the past, quite easy and very addictive. Used a Dremel.

    I use Titebond III for outdoor jobs these days, but I think the real boatbuilders use West System epoxy resin

    I have found that marking out the area to be stippled first and then randomly in filling. It is actually harder than you think being random - but you definitely don't want to do it in lines.

    It's not mine any more, The wife sweet talked me in to putting my guns under the bed years ago so that she could fill it with video tapes and DVD's

    I had enough just to fill the cabinet, They almost fill the box room now

    It’s worth mentioning that on some woods the stippled area can look better if it’s dyed a darker shade, even black, before it’s finished with oil.

    Ive just been given a lump of mahogany, its very old and been stored for over 30 years in a cabinet makers loft, he tells me thats agood thing ? So its big enough to get a stock out of it, as carpentry is something alien to me is this wood type anygood to have a go at making a stock, or should I try something else as Im 'green' with a chisel

    It will make a heavy stock. Much denser than walnut
