Michael, not a problem except for hiding the slot cut for the lowered bolt handle. How would you do that, the wood in that area is real plain, I think if I filled the slot and then made a flat area from the cut for the sight to behind the bolt slot it could be hidden if I had a good match on the wood. 
I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

If this is what you mean I would sure consider going that way. As you said nice plain wood so matching should not be a big problem.

I always prefer to use PhotoShop when replacing stock wood ;>)
Do you use PS when removing it from under the buttplate??:>)

Labeling the pic "mock-up" make this a PhotoShop creation I guess? Here's hoping your dreams come true! An awful lot of yours have... Here's my, circa 1930's, dream K-22...

Yep, a PS creation, cost a lot less than the real thing to see what something might look like.
"Here's hoping your dreams come true! An awful lot of yours have."
Yes they have, a lot of work made many of them come true. Even as a kid I wanted to see Alaska. As far back as I can remember I liked fine firearms. Just took some looking around and trusting my instincts.

Stephen,
When I was 14 in 1974 my dad traded for a K-22 just like the one in your photo with no finish left. I saved the money and sent it back to S&W and they completely refinished and retimed it. I believe it cost me $57.50 to have the work done and took about 6 months. It shot great but like a foolish kid, I saw something else I thought I had to have and traded it off. Have been sorry ever since.
Scott
I think I'll start looking for a replacement after seeing your photo.
