I have a nice Belgian ejector Guild gun and would like to lengthen the stock. I thought about adding a pad, but I would really prefer a checkered butt. Right now is a has a milled butt and I think it looks better than rubber. Plus the gun will be used for grouse and woodcock, so I am not looking at high volumes of fire.

Has anyone here succesfully made wood extensions look like the grain of the original stock? I always save the trimmings off my stock blanks and from other stocks that I cut down for people. But of course none will match up perfectly. Is there any chance with imitation mineral streaking to get an extension to be un-noticable to the casual observer? If so, what are the different methods I can try to match it up

Thanks!
