Might be hard to see but it has had two areas that have cracked on one side about half an inch apart at different times. I think this blank which is even better in hand than the pictures show should have been used on a small bore gun or a through bolt gun. I will soak it and take it apart to see if it can be repaired. Better than plywood is a diamond wood insert. Laminated wood that has been impregnated with resins. Slow setting epoxy with proper coloring does hide a lot I agree. Figure I have about a month before hot weather makes this job another winter project. Into the soak it will go tonight.
