Thought you guys might like to see some pictures of a forend repair that I did a few months back.

The fellow had somebody repair the crack before but they didn't reinforce it so it just broke again. Unfortunately he lost the piece that broke off so I had to try and match the existing wood.

Here's a couple shots of the break area after I cleaned it up and added brass pins for reinforcement:




A shot of trial fitting the replacement piece of wood:



Some shots after epoxying and finishing. Bearing in mind that the fellow didn't want to spend the money on having the stock fully refinished, I'm quite happy with the repair.

Nice job, I bet you had fun trying to get it as close as you did.
