TT, actually the butt job was not as bad as I implied, It's just that whoever did it failed to follow the stock line around the sides of the toe area. The dark marking on the 1" extension was fairly well done on a very plain peice of wood that is colored to a good match. The real problem is that the wood with the extension is only 13 7/8, it had a 1" whiteline pad on it that had to go. I am considering a leather coverd pad with a 1/4 spacer or maybe a 1 1/2 Silvers. It is going to sit awhile as I have several other projects in the works right now. Jim
