Thank you KY Jon. I have refrained from giving advise just because of the jigsaw issue. Each piece of wood is unique. Each poses its own issues.
I really like L.C. Smiths. They are a pain in the rear at times when they are used as hard as this one appears to have been. This gun looks to have gone the way of "more is better" in the shell department....because it was a tool to use. I was taught to take care of my tools and they would take care of me.
This stock may be resurrected. Doing so is always a challenge to do it in a manner to be proud of. My advice. Go slowly and be not afraid of doing it over when it doesn't go right the first time. Ask for help directly from those who can give good advise. Pictures are helpful when explaining things. Information is always free at my house.
