John, that sounds like a very interesting technique. Would love to see pics sometime.
Thought you all might enjoy seeing some pics of a Fox C grade I just finished. It was a wreck, with a short stock, screw plugs and a grafted piece of walnut through the head, and a crack through the checkering. I added a 2" extension to a checkered butt, added 1/2" comb height so it fits him better, fixed the crack and covered the screw holes and graft, and recut the checkering fore and aft. It was a lot of work, but it turned out really nice, and my customer was ecstatic. He's local, so we're going to go shooting together in a week. I even fixed an ejector that wasn't working, so I feel good about it too.
