That does sound like a nightmare sort of job for a stocker. I'm guessing it would take a real pro to get that job done right. Im also guessing it would be very expensive. It might be cheaper to just make an entire new stock?? For some ancient old French walnut that is impossible to get in this day and age, it might be worth the trouble, at least for me. A guy would really have to be in love with the old wood, I would think.

Socialism is almost the worst.
