HERE ARE TWO STOCKS, PARTS OF WHICH ARE GOOD AND SERVICEABLE. MY OBJECTIVE HERE IS TO JOIN THEM INTO ONE REALLY NICE STOCK. I THINK I HAVE THE NEEDED ANGLES FIGURED OUT AND CAN GET STRAIGHT FLAT CUTS USING A HAND MITRE BOX THAT WILL MATE WELL. WHAT I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT YET IS HOW TO JOIN THEM; MAYBE MORTISE AND TENON, MAYBE HARDWOOD DOWELS, MAYBE ALL-THREAD. PROBABLY TITEBOND III, POSSIBLY EPOXY. ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED; I'M ONLY GOING TO GET ONE CHANCE AT THIS. I KNOW I WILL HAVETO EXPAND THE CHECKERING FIELD BUT I'LL DEAL WITH THAT LATER. THANKS, GIL
