The ebony extension looks very nice, and I hope you shoot it "lights out"! It looks way better than a mismatched piece of walnut added to lengthen it. I would have used a Silvers type pad, myself, but I'm just partial to recoil pads. I use guns pretty hard, setting them down in all kinds of places that are not conducive to keeping a checkered butt looking nice ...... wooden racks on the range and duck blinds, for instance. I've got a couple with finished wood butts, but put a leather lace-on pad over them when in use.

The important thing is at you got it to the length you need. Very nice.
