Now that you have three play pages with people telling you do nothing, Im curious.

How much interaction did you have with the stock maker during this process?

It would seem to me that you wouldve known about the dissimilar sides as soon as the stock was shaped on the duplicator.

You couldve decided yes or no at that moment, before you sunk a whole lot of finishing time into it.

So, have you already visited this question previously?

FWIW, other than the finish color, I like the stock.
Super clear finishes seem to be derigeur these days.
Im not a fan of them.

Out there doing it best I can.
