Stump after the call is done. It is alot like stain but to get the grain to pop you have to run a flame across the call and you can see it darken and it will raise the grain some when you sand it down it might have some spots that need to be recoated. Have not tried this with a ca finish but with every coat of spar it make the grain pop even more.

You can burnish it in as well, no flame required!

If when thats done, and you want some of the grain a tad dark, soot it with a lighter then burnish again. (hold a lighter under the call and spin by ahnd allowing the "soot" to coat the call)
