Make A Wood Stock?

After seeing all these great looking stocks like the lemak stocks I want to give making my own a shot. This weekend I am going to put my CNC router to work and cut a Lemak inspired stock out for my condor. I have some nice extra dry 1″ thick maple boards on hand so I think I’ll route out two pieces and then glue and clamp them together to make a single 2″ thick profile. The only wood carving I know how to do is with the router so I will keep it fairly plain., ill add some fluting here and there and perhaps some checkering.

What kind of coatings are out there to black out and seal this stock? Is there some kind of rubberizer or epoxy based finsh that people use?

Heres what I came up with today while tinkering at my office.
