I'm getting ready to try my hand at installing a leather pad. Some of you have been gracious enough to send me previous instructions. Thank you.

Prior to that, however, I have to trim the end of my stock, as it has a dished checkered butt now. What is the best way to do that? Tablesaw? What about pitch, etc? It is a simple matter, but I don't want to screw it up. Or, should I just have a smith do that part for me, while I attempt the rest?
