A guy on Accurate Shooter's painted a stock using Alcohol Ink's, and it looks great. So, I ordered some off Amazon along with some paint & makeup brushes to give it a try.
I have several takeoff stocks lying around, so I can practice on them before I do this on one of my high $$$ stocks. I prepped and cleaned one of them, then painted it with a flat white base coat.
Alcohol inks dry really fast, and are really thin, so you have to work pretty quick with them. It takes some practice to get the colors to look good, but once you figure out a system to work them, it's pretty easy. After your done, let it all dry, and then spray a few coats of clear paint over it. I used matte clear.
Here's my first practice stock-
