My Army & Navy was proceeding swimmingly until I broke my stock. The wood is quite brittle. Though put off by the expense I believed my only recourse was to restock it. But seeing some of the excellent jobs others here have done to resurrect their old stocks, I waned to give it a try. I am currently stumped on how to deal with the portion where the the very thin portion of the broken piece meets the stock. I used urethane glue. On trying to feather at the meeting point of the two pieces, the very thin wood is wearing away and exposing the urethane. I am also worried about that area splintering as the wood is very thin. I can cover a lot with more checkering, but this area doesn't look stable and liable to splinter when checkered. I'm wondering about pegging the area shown. Here is a photo.


Please help!
